| Pros (for) | Cons (against) |
| 1. Today, boys can cook and do household chores. A vivid example is the programme ‘Master Chef’ in which we see more boys than girls participating and normally the boys end up winning the finals. | 1. That is outside the house. In the house they expect everything to be done either by their mothers or sisters. |
| 2. After the 1960’s men/boys do more work than they used to. | 2. Even today boys feel that cooking and household chores are women’s work. |
| 3. There is less housework to do because of machines that makes work easy and so is quickly done by the ladies in the house. | 3. Boys should remember that it is their house too and should get started and help in the chores and lighten the work. |
Let us conclude this debate by letting everyone present that there is no ‘her job’ or ‘his job’. Today men and women have to share equal responsibilities because in most of the families both parents are bread earners. Sharing responsibilities makes work lighter and quicker and a sense of equality prevails.
