Opinion of this new article
This article talks about the housework.
Actually, this topic is so important; a few years ago, it was only the women who did the housework and the men who went to work outside. Nowadays, as women as men work outside and for this reason, they must share out their housework. I think that is unbelievable that in Spain, a developed country, the women do more than three times as much as their men folk. Also, Spain isn’t the only developed country where the women do more housework, there’re more countries that this happen; sharing out the housework is so important because is an important living together thing. So, the men must give more of their part and the women must be imposed.
