How do the character portrayals demonstrate evidence of a patriarchal society?
The episode begins with the men complaining about their wives' spending habits
They claim to be the only ones doing any work
They ignore their wives' arguments and instead refer to each other
They complain about their labours and accuse the women of having it easy with the housework
Two working men and their housewives
?
Contextually: all characters are wealthy, white and slender
The episode is resolved in the conclusion that women should stay at home and men should 'bring home the bacon' and that any deviation from this
will
cause catastrophe
The Women
Absolutely no work experience
Childish/foolish/ignorant/dependent/clueless/unintelligent/unimaginative/greedy/gullible
"That won't work." "Why not?" "The wife's got three blouses with the exact same unique pattern."
Only offered "women's" jobs
Useless when it comes to paid work
The Men
Can't cook, can't clean, can't wear bandanas
In power, independent, intelligent, creative
The vacuum cleaner scene "women complain but they don't use their heads"
Useless when it comes to housework
