Gender in Egalitarian Societies[edit]
Egalitarian societies can be defined as "classless societies" or societies that do not favor one group of people over another. They practice equality amongst themselves. In egalitarian societies, like the Batek, gender equality is a common practice. When it comes to gender equality in the Batek, multiple areas of life are divided relatively equally among the genders. For example, the daily work that is done around the community. The men and women watch the children depending on what is happening. The women may be out foraging while the men stay at home to watch the children and vice versa. Another aspect of life that typically involves gender is chores. In Western societies, traditionally, the women usually do the chores around the house, while the men leave the house to go to work. In the Batek community, both men and women participate in chores such as gathering water and firewood. Further, both boys and girls are expected to help their parents with chores when asked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JazzminMiller (talk • contribs) 02:24, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
