THE TRADITIONAL MALE ROLE HAS CHANGED IN THE PAST 20 YEARS

in ideology •  7 years ago 

@sameer777. much as i respect and champion the course of gender equality.There are certain things that must retain their status quo namely Men as the protector and provider of the family and Women as the backbone of the family as a whole while at the same time kicking ass and taking names in every workplace.It is sad to see that the original idea of what a family should look like and feel like is being eroded by the insane demands and trends of the modern times.We should not pursue all the wealth of this world burning time that should otherwise be invested in the lifes of our loved ones.There should be no competition between the sexes only love and the desire to raise up the next generation in the best way possible.

I agree with where you wind up, but I'm not entirely sure your idealized notion of the traditional family ever truly existed. Men are not really "the protector and provider" when a woman is battered every 9 seconds in the US, and 1 in 3 women experience domestic violence in their lifetime.

The women I know who are in the workforce, myself included, aren't there because we enjoy competing with men. We're there because we have to earn a living for ourselves and our families. And I have to tell you, that's harder to do when, as a woman, I earn on average 79 cents for every dollar a man earns. That's a stat from a May 2017 Business Insider article, and that's 54 years after the US passed "the Equal Pay Act." So maybe there's still a little room for improvement. What do you think?
