I have to hold more
powerful positions in the
workplace, but
female roles still vary
according to social class.
In upper class and some
middle class families,
women avoid working
outside the home in order
to preserve family status,
honor, and virtue.
However, I work and
study and my boyfriend
too.
My wife is subject to my
authority and she has to
honor me and bring me
happiness. I have to work
while my wife has to take
care of my children. A
son's birth is celebrated,
while the birth of a
daughter is considered
painful to the family. Boys
are lavished with love
and respect and are
provided better food and
health care than girls.
