I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be satisfied if we only had sex when I feel like it. I have had to learn it’s not all about me. Sometimes I wish it was, but it’s not. (Valerie Harris)
Agreed with the thoughts of António José Rodrigues Rebelo
. We should discuss these issues on scholarly platforms. Addressing the issue of women's efforts often being unrecognized in the context of relationships and societal roles involves acknowledging gender dynamics and cultural expectations. Historically, women's contributions, particularly in emotional and relational labor, have been undervalued or overlooked. This stems from long-standing stereotypes and traditional gender roles that place disproportionate value on men's contributions.
To foster a more equitable recognition of women's efforts, it is essential to:
1. Promote Awareness: Educate about the importance of emotional labor and the various forms of invisible work women do.
2. Encourage Communication: Foster open and honest discussions in relationships to ensure mutual appreciation and understanding.
3. Advocate for Equality: Support initiatives and policies that aim to balance the recognition and value of contributions from all genders.
Scholarly discussions and community platforms can play a crucial role in addressing these disparities by highlighting research on gender roles and promoting gender equality in both private and public spheres.
Thank you Jane Elizabeth Thomas for highlighting such a critical issue. I really appreciate to open discussion on these issues.
Thanks Muhammad for your support! A key problem is that only men comment on sexual issues. Women are not interested but even if they are, male fantasies make it difficult to be honest about sex. Sex is primarily a male pleasure. Women look for emotional rewards from their relationships.
