How are gender roles changing?

Answer 1

More men are staying home to do housework and raise children. Which in my opinion is unhealthy. Men need a sense of accomplishment, which housework and children don't give to them. Not to mention, the tension between man and wife is heightened when the man stays at home. A working woman will have less interest in her man after a long days work. Men generally need their wives to be romantically interested in them, or they start to feel less like a man. Along with several other stress factors. Women, in general, are more patient with children, and have a greater interest in making a house into a home. Therefore, stressful situations, outside of home life, make a harder impact on women. Men on the other hand are generally less patient with children, and don't really care about what the house looks like, as long as there is a roof over their family's head. On the flip side, men are better suited to handle stress at work, as it doesn't effect them emotionally. My wife has told me numerous times that she would love to quit her job and stay home with the kids.

Answer 2

Gender roles are becoming much less rigidly defined. Just a couple of generations ago, there was a clear division between "men's work" and "women's work," both in the home and outside the home. Now, most jobs, from nurse to firefighter to cooking and cleaning to household repairs can be done by men or women.
