About this Quote

This quote by Helen Rowland is a funny take on the standard gender roles of males and females. It implies that because the time of Adam and Eve, women have been expected to supply food for men, but then are blamed when the food does not concur with them. This quote is a commentary on the unfair expectations put on females throughout history, and how they are typically delegated the effects of their actions, even when it is not their fault. It also highlights the power imbalance in between males and females, and how females are frequently anticipated to handle the function of caretaker and company, while men are not held to the exact same requirements. Ultimately, this quote acts as a suggestion of the value of gender equality and the requirement to challenge traditional gender roles.
