About this Quote

This quote by Bob Geldof speaks with the changing characteristics of gender functions in society. Historically, females have had to fight for their right to work and be seen as equivalent to guys in the workforce. Now, nevertheless, men are battling to reclaim their location in the household structure. This shift in gender roles is indicative of a larger societal pattern towards higher gender equality. Men are now more likely to take on generally female roles such as child care and household chores, while women are significantly taking on traditionally male functions such as leadership positions in the office. This quote speaks with the development that has been made in regards to gender equality, and the importance of continuing to strive for greater equality in all elements of life.
