ジェンダーギャップ「爆弾をやっと読んだ話」

貧困国においては教育に関わる男女の差が激しい。女子の方が家事を任されることが多いからだ。家で兄弟や病人や高齢者の面倒を観たり料理や洗濯をしたりする。教科書や制服などの消耗品のコストも親としては負担になる。反対に男子は将来的に生産性が高くまた稼いでくれる存在になる可能性が高いのだ。
In the developing countries, there has been an immense difference between the male education levels and those of the females because the latter could be in charge of their housework rather than the former, and there are several reasons for these circumstances, an article says.
Various female members take successful care of younger siblings, sick family members and elderly seniors, at the same time, they might be good at cooking and washing.
It should cost their parents much to prepare for several supplies : numerous textbooks and uniforms, which are something troublesome and burdensome, she assumes.
In contrast, the male members of their family won’t fail to become profitable and productive in the near future, so that their parents could spend a larger amount of money on theirs sons than daughters, an online article says.

爆弾という人気の小説を読んだ。続編があるらしいが人気がありすぎて当面は借りることができない。内容も映画化されてほしいくらいワクワク感があった。読書は最もコスパのいい趣味だ。図書館ならレンタル料も発生しない。暇を持て余すこともない。集中すれば嫌な過去を思い出すこともない。一番いい。
There is a popular novel “The Explosive Bombs” written by a certain famous author, which we could borrow in the public library nearby, although the continuous stories have been extremely popular, so that we cannot borrow it easily, and we must wait until it is returned, she knows.
We might assume that such exciting contents should be transformed into the movie-style entertainments, but we cannot watch it on the streaming subscription services.
It goes without saying that reading novels in the library won’t fail to rescue us in the financial viewpoint because we don’t have to spend any money there, she assumes.
The library wouldn’t require us to pay any rental fees, at the same time, we don’t have to suffer from too long a free and meaningless time, simultaneously, we might fail to remember what we experienced in the past when we concentrate on what the author wrote in their novels.
After all, such a hobby brings us to somewhere utopian.
