Let's us Compare and Do a Small I. Depth Comparison

• Mother -Daughter vs Mother-Son
• Father -Daughter vs Father-Son

To clarify the choices:

Yes, men still had chores in traditional gender roles, but they were typically different from women's household duties. The division of labor depended on the time period, culture, and class, but in general:

Even in traditional gender roles, men weren’t completely free from household tasks. It's just that their work was often more physically demanding and focused outside the house, while women handled more of the day-to-day upkeep inside.

I have a theory that very few white people across all history literally think black people attach the ape like comparison in simple ways that is assumed. it’s more an symbolic association with what white people think of their energy, things like the way they vibe and their intelligence, but not that they are ape like in that way. When it happens it’s more like they can see certain facial features that remind them of it
(When certain skull features are present, not just skin color or hair) but since they look too human (upright, human amount of body hair) the brain shifts it’s perspective of them being ape like to humans, and they attach things like being hypersexual, not as intelligently inclined in certain areas, and an assumption that they are or may be aggressive in situations. But thinking they are ape like simply from looks alone is not such a simple one to one connection. It’s more their perceived energy from what I just described.

I believe black people actually are more likely to think this of themselves and they project it onto white people, both today and their perception of the past, when in reality the animalistic association was about black peoples perceived energy and connection to nature which they thought was different, looks may have played a major role but not not in such a simple ape like connection, they saw them as human but with different energy based on looks, not that they were more ape like because of their looks in such a way that is assumed.

And some white people may imagine other white people think this since they can conjure up that thought in their head but they don’t actually think that when seeing black people, their thought process is what I described.


*disclaimer, this isn’t meant to put black people down, I am describing real dynamics that are helpful to address both for the black community to understand these dynamics so they know how they are seen by white people and society as well.
