64suited for different jobs since Claire chooses to pursue something she’snever tried before even though it’s considered a man’s job. Browne saysabout the brains and mental processes of men and women that “humanminds are more likely to settle on some social practices than others” (162).The 30 minute long television show proved that the statement from Browneis not always true. Claire was a stay-at-home mom for nineteen years, butdecided to try running for city council against Duane because she felt he wasdoing an injustice for the town. People don’t always just settle on what’sexpected of them or what they are used to, as Browne tries to argue.Nevertheless, Browne argues that women’s work is biologically assigned, hedoes mention that it “would be a mistake to interpret averagetemperamental or cognitive sex differences as limitations on the potential ofindividual girls and women” (165). This agrees with the point that womencan strive for whatever job position or career they want without biologicaldeficiencies compared to men.Despite being able to have almost any career they want, womensometimes fall into the stereotype of stay-at-home mom while their husbandgoes to work and serves as the family’s provider. In Modern Family, all threeof the families have a mother figure that stays at home while the spousegoes to work. Claire cares for the three kids while Phil works and Gloriadoesn’t work because her husband, and Jay makes more than enough ofmoney so they don’t need a second income. Even Mitchell and Cameron’sfamily of three demonstrates the stereotypical mom-figure by Cam being theone to stay at home with their adopted daughter while Mitch goes to the lawfirm. Sometimes a spouse can become the main provider just bycircumstance, not only because the woman doesn’t want to work, butbecause they don’t have to. In Claire’s case, she was so used to her husbandworking and her staying at home for the last nineteen years, that the shethen doubted her chances of being able to run for city council. Not only did
65she not have total confidence in herself, but she didn’t trust her husband tobe the one to take care of the kids, especially after the little mishaps thathappen in the episode like giving one daughter drowsy allergy medicine.Claire couldn’t picture herself outside of the mom position in the family, buther husband Phil wanted her to do what would make her happy. Claire evensays to Gloria, “I’m afraid of not winning,” (Modern Family) when Gloria asksfor the reasons why she won’t run for councilman. Meanwhile, the othermain female character, Gloria, was upset that her husband and son wouldn’tlisten to her ideas. Even when Jay couldn’t sell his blueprint idea to his new,younger boss, he wouldn’t take Gloria’s advice and tried to solve theproblem on his own. This shows that even though he respects his wife, Jaydidn’t think she would have an idea that would work for his company sinceit’s “men’s work”.In agreement with the female stereotype proving aspects of ModernFamily of showing a homemaker in the marriages, Browne’s whole essay isbased on how men and women have preferences for different jobs becauseof their biological differences. Based on biology, Browne argues that menand women wouldn’t normally have an inclination towards the same jobbecause they naturally favor some jobs over others due to differences in“temperament, cognitive ability, values, and interests” (166). He even saysthat “it would be astonishing if [men and women’s] occupational preferencesand behaviors were identical” (166). Browne makes the argument that thereis really no way to keep men and women from wanting the jobs that comenaturally to them as shown in history. The idea of ‘men’s work’ and‘women’s work’ is shown in Modern Family through having multiplecharacters filling the stay-at-home mom role in their relationships. Theepisode even shows Claire’s maternal instinct kick in when she contemplatesif she should run for councilman when she doubts that her husband, Phil,can care for the children like she does.
