Chores are meant for girls?

It is sickening That 90% of homes in Africa think that all the domestic work in the house is meant for the girl child.
They fail to associate equality to both genders. Everything is left for the girl regardless of her feelings and other personal engagement that she might have. It is believed that it is the process of training her to be a better woman.
Less attention is paid to the boys in the house. No wonder they grow up with unrealistic sense of entitlement and expectations from females.
Can this narrative change completely?

It is very true that 90% of homes in Africa let the females do the housework. I imagine once married the African lady would cook and clean. Once a parent she would be a stay at home mum. I think boys need to know how to cook and clean in their home. Therefore the men will be able to live well and care for themselves.

It can be changed by how they are being raised.
