Is anyone else concerned that "traditional" roles of Man and Woman?

Question

are disappearing? Please give me your thoughts.

Answer 1

Yes, I am very concerned. I believe that the breakdown of the traditional family will greatly contribute to a degradation of society. It is a fact that children who are raised by a mother and a father who are married to each other for life will be better adjusted than if they were raised in a single-parent household. God made women and men different for a reason. If we accept that and perform our intended roles then society and our children will reap the benefits.

Answer 2

What do you mean by "traditional" roles of men and women? Such as the woman should stay home and only do household chores and the guy brings home the bacon? If so then yes it is because women are becoming more independent which is a great thing. Women and men are ALMOST equal now. Women now days work and not only just men now. Sometimes men are the ones who stay home and take care of things there, but its great for both people to work because it'll help the family earn more money. I'm not concerned about the traditional role changing though because my parents are asian they go by the traditional role which I hate because they think guys are better than girls. Which isn't true!

Answer 3

i agree with c.w. men and women should be free to do what they want. marriage is a partnership. both people need to work together as one. its the only way a marriage will work. this isnt the 1920's where women had to do everything the man said, now a days many women are the ones making the money and the men stay home. there is nothing wrong with that, so long as both people are on the same page. i know i would not put up with my husband ordering me around. im not a helpless female that needs a man to take care of me. even if my husband and i divorced, i would no how to take care of myself.
so no i am not concerned that traditionsl roles are disappearing. they have just evolved and grown into new ones.

Answer 4

Not overly concerned about it. Tradition changes as do the times, its not the 60s where lil wife stays home raises the kids cooks and cleans. Now women have to work to help pay the bills, due to overinflation on everything from dish soap to gasoline. The sad thing is the men that think the womans place is in the home....and still expects her to have a career to help support the family. Its not one way or the other, its both and you have to spread yourself pretty thin to get it all covered.

Answer 5

My live-in boyfriend is currently "between jobs". I am a successful business woman in the financial industry with a salary sufficient to support us both, at least temporarily.
I do enjoy coming home and having a glass of wine while I make dinner, but he also likes to surprise me and have a hot meal waiting for me on the dinner table.
He does all the cleaning, vacuuming (including the couch, we have a very furry golden retriever) and laundry.
I am comfortable with the roles we are in.
I think that who holds the man/woman role is less important than the values we instill in our children, and the compassion we show our fellow man.

Answer 6

I'm not concerned, and I'm actually happy about it. I don't believe that women should do the housework, cook, take care of kids while the husband sits around and/or goes off with his friends. They both should share equally in everything. It will be a cold day in H*LL that I ever wait hand and foot on any man.

Answer 7

Yes. It's OK sometimes, but I think the family dynamic has eroded to the point where families do not survive anymore. Women are trying to do both men's roles and women's roles (and then complaining about how hard it is).
Children need fathers and mothers. Not just two people.

Answer 8

i could care less actually. i grew up in a house with only my mother from the age of 12 on. SHE was the one who finished college, SHE was the one with the 6 figure salary, SHE was the one who was the role model. my father dropped out of hair dresser's college, has been let go from many jobs over the year, and never paid a cent towards my college or even to help me buy a car or anything. i'd rather grow up to be like my mom and raise my children as well as she raised me. i dont want my daughter to grow up thinking all she is is a baby maker and a homemaker.

Answer 9

What kinds of changes do you mean? I think some of the traditional roles (women staying home, men being hte breadwinners) are just outdated and have outlived their practicality. Women no longer have to feel they are servants to their husbands (like my ex mother-in-law). Men and women can be equal partners. Change can be good. It's also up to the partners as to what works for them.

Answer 10

Not disappearing, but being eliminated by lowlife socialist scumbags that foolishly follow polluted political agenda... thus unless more people wise up, "Tradition" of any kind will be banned by the commie elitist scum just as our constitution is being chipped away piece by piece by the high ranking demented Dumpacraps, turn coat Regurgicans, media monsters, and ludicrous liberal lobbyists...
