This is the feeling you get when reading the short story the lottery. In the story you read the town gathers for the drawing of the lottery. Each family gathers and the man of the family does the drawing and in when the there was a family without a father the man asked if she had a son to her drawing, but he was too young. Then was a boy that was of age was going to be able to draw for his mother now everyone was proud of him. “Good fellow, Jack,” and Glad to see your mother’s got a man to do it” (Jackson 1948 p. 253). This is just a town set in its ways were those stereotypical gender roles were very apparent. When one of the woman starting caring on about the drawing being unfair her husband put her in her place to told her to shut up. The men were in charge and the women were to do as they were told by the men. “Although there is a division of labor in human affairs between the sexes, there are changing social expectations, which are reflected in somewhat different gender roles at different time. Now things are different most mothers work. Household responsibilities must be shared. But they are not shared equally”
