Answer to Question 1

It suggests that housework is so ingrained as women's work that it functions as an area in which gender is symbolically created and reproduced. Wives do the majority of housework because it is expected of them as women and they have heard these messages since childhood. Likewise, men do less because housework is not a part of their gendered identity.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
