Furthermore, due to the belief that women who are not good at domestic duties will have difficulty in their family life, prodigious amounts of pressure were brought to bear on them, and they have to get themselves familiarized with household tasks such as cooking, washing and bringing up children very early so as to become good mothers. Besides, men who are in charge of preparing foods, getting household tasks done or rush into the market in the morning to buy food may be regarded as ridiculous, which results in their unwillingness to get themselves involved in such tasks. Hence, they are usually overshadowed by women in the role of parents.
