About this Quote

Peter Fonda's quote talks to the concept of gender functions and expectations in society. It suggests that Peter was unaware of his dad's hard work and presumed that his mom was the one providing the household with cash. This might be analyzed as a reflection of the conventional gender functions that were prevalent in the past, where men were expected to be the income producers and ladies were anticipated to stay at house and look after the household. It could also be seen as a commentary on the altering functions of males and females in society, as increasingly more females are handling roles traditionally held by men. Peter's quote might be viewed as a pointer that gender roles are not constantly as well-defined as they may seem, and that both men and women can contribute to the family in different ways.
