PERSUASIVE SPEECH
(HOUSE CHORES ARE FOR BOTH GENDERS)

Introduction
As stated in Merriam Webster Dictionary, chores mean the regular or daily light work of a household or farm. Other than that, it also mean a routine task or job. We have been living our life believing that house chores are for women. People said,women are destined to be the ‘slave’ of the family. I mean how annoying is when men keep asking where their belongings are, demanding for drinks and so on. Why do we normalize this thing? So, today I will share to you why these things are for both genders.

Content
1. Chores are for personal responsibilities.

Both genders, male and female have the hands and legs. What makes the men, that we, women have to bared the burden just for you? Once you finish eating, wash your dishes. Do not wait for someone to do it for you. We have to realize that we actually have our self at the end of the day. Our mothers and sisters are not going to be with us forever.


2. It is the Sunnah of prophet Muhammad S.A.W

From Sahih Bukhari 644, Al Aswad reported;

 I asked Aisha, ‘What did the Prophet S.A.W, do when he was with his family? Aisha said, “The Prophet would do chores for his family and he would go out when it was time for prayer.”

In another report, Aisha reported to have said, “He did what one of you would do in his house. He mended sandals and patched garments and sewed.” (Adab Al- Mufrad graded sahih by Al- Albani)

It is also said in the other hadith by Tirmidhi; Ibn Majah.

“The best of you is the one who is best to his wife, and I am the best of you to my wives.”

Based on these three hadith, we know that Rasullah is the most considerate person in the world. His love for his wives and his family, that he even help them. This sunnah are actually been acknowledge by those arrogant men out there. They think that doing house chores are womanish. They don’t want to practice this sunnah, but really insist to fulfil that famous sunnah which is polygamy.

3. Men actually can understand women better

If house chores been separated evenly, Men actually can understand women better. We always heard complains from men that we, women are so complicated. Women have unstable emotions, talkative and sensitive to other’s feelings. But have you all ever wonder? It is not all about hormone. They are just tired everything. Doing everything on their own including taking care of their children, doing house chores, and working. If all you, men who thinks that you are tired of working, think again. Doesn’t women feels tired too?

             Rebuttal
I know that some of you will say that house chores are meant for women using religion. As example from Sahih Al- Bukhari Hadith 7.116 Narrated by Abdullah bin Umar. The prophet S.A.W. said,
Every one of you is a guardian and every one of you is responsible (for those under your ward). A ruler is a guardian and is responsible (for his subject); a man is a guardian of his family and responsible (for them); a wife is a guardian of her husband’s house and she is responsible (for it), a slave is a guardian of his master’s property and is responsible (for that). Beware all of you are guardians and are responsible (for those your wards).”
From these hadith, they claimed that women are responsible for them .They have to take care of everything from head to toe for them. Men does not have to do house because they have to earn money for their family.
They even said that women doesn’t deserve to get education and go out working. They are destined to stay at home and do house chores. Women will end up being I the kitchen. To those men who have these kind of mentality, you are so wrong.
Sure, you, men, fathers raise, educate, and nurture the beautiful daughter that you are lucky enough to be blessed with. Just so that she could become a servant for her husband, in which that husband can leave her at any time given. Is it worth it? Think about it again.

Conclusion

I disagree that house chores are meant for women. We also want our time to rest. We also feel exhausted just the way you do. Don’t complain over the same thing that we have to experience. It is the small thing that we ask for. We just want men to participate in doing chores too. It aint that hard.
