(B) Appreciation at home - not appreciated as it is considered their charms to finish chores. At work - any promotion in office is seen as "quid pro quo" for being "good" with the boss. (3) Division of labour at home - highly gendered. At work - perform as equals, but will baggages attached. (4) Stereotype pure pursuit, but different in nature - at home - "dont give her the car, she wont be able to drive". At work - "dont include her as project head, will prioritize family over work."
