Men in the 21st century
John Edmonson defends modern man´s role in society
1.°
Back in the 1980´s everyone was talking about the “new man”. Every magazine was full of pictures of him holding
babies and saucepans, and we were told that no self-respecting modern man would expect his wife to do all the childcare or
housework. So, we didn´t. The division of domestic labour changed and men got in touch with their feminine side. Or at least
that´s what I thought.
Na década de 1980 toda a gente falava sobre o “novo homem”. Todas as revistas estavam cheias de fotografias dele a segurar bebés e panelas, e disseram-nos que nenhum homem moderno que se preze esperaria que a sua mulher cuidasse de todos os filhos ou do trabalho doméstico. Assim, não fizemos. A divisão do trabalho doméstico alterou-se e os homens entraram em contato com o seu lado feminino. Ou pelo menos foi o que pensei.
2.°
However, read any of the articles written today on the subject and anyone would think that men haven´t changed
since the beginning of time. No one seems to think the division of labour has really improved and apparently we´re supposed
to feel guilty about it. But all of my married friends are new men compared to their father´s generation. They don´t expect their
wives to do everything for them and they all spend quality time with their kids.
No entanto, se ler algum dos artigos hoje escritos sobre o assunto, qualquer pessoa pensaria que os homens não mudaram desde o início dos tempos. Ninguém parece pensar que a divisão do trabalho melhorou realmente e, aparentemente, devemos sentir-nos culpados por isso. Mas todos os meus amigos casados são homens novos em comparação com a geração do pai. Não esperam que as suas esposas façam tudo por eles e todos passam bons momentos com os seus filhos.
3.°
I've got two older brothers and both of them do most of the cooking for their families, as well as being the main
breadwinners. Neither of them spend hours in the pub with their friends watching football. And I don´t think either of my
brothers want the lifestyle our father´s generation had – certainly none of my friends do. However, no newspaper reports that.
Instead we get surveys such as the one quoted in The Guardian saying that on an average day in Britain, men only spend 13
minutes caring for their children, 45 minutes cooking and doing housework, but three hours watching TV.
Tenho dois irmãos mais velhos e ambos cozinham a maior parte da comida para as famílias, além de serem os principais fornecedores. Nenhum deles passa horas no bar com os amigos a ver futebol. E não creio que nenhum dos meus irmãos queira o estilo de vida que a geração do nosso pai teve – certamente que nenhum dos meus amigos quer. No entanto, nenhum jornal noticia isso. Em vez disso, recebemos inquéritos como o citado no The Guardian, que diz que num dia normal na Grã-Bretanha, os homens passam apenas 13 minutos a cuidar dos filhos, 45 minutos a cozinhar e a fazer tarefas domésticas, mas três horas a ver televisão.
4.°
It´s hard to find anything that shows men in a positive light these days. And each time I read about how selfish and
unhelpful men are, my blood boils! In fact, I´ve read two articles on the subject recently, and each article suggests that all
women are capable of being the breadwinner as well as running the home – apparently men aren´t necessary anymore!
Would a woman tell a man that when she needed a tyre changed or when there was a burglar climbing through her window at
four in the morning? I think not!
É difícil encontrar algo que mostre os homens de uma forma positiva hoje em dia. E cada vez que leio sobre como os homens são egoístas e inúteis, o meu sangue ferve! Na verdade, li recentemente dois artigos sobre o assunto, e cada artigo sugere que todas as mulheres são capazes de ser o sustento da família e também de cuidar da casa – aparentemente os homens já não são necessários! Será que uma mulher diria isto a um homem quando precisasse de mudar um pneu ou quando um ladrão entrasse pela sua janela às quatro da manhã? Acho que não!
