Traditional gender roles


The traditional female role is being maneuvered out of existence. Full participation in taxation is now favorable among many couples as its more profitable to the powers that be. Today you could very well find woman being the bread winner and the man at home tending to children. In some cases the woman makes more money than the man. Times and mentalities have changed, and women have taken on so many different roles and responsibilities that where one once considered 'men only'. And I feel that we've proven ourselves time and time again to be capable of assuming these roles if we choose. It is not a woman's main, and sole responsibility in life to have children, be married to a man, cater to her man's every whim, and take care of home. People can live how they wish but on a larger scale, a society with rigid gender roles cannot have equal rights or opportunities for men and women. Not all men are alike and not all women are alike. I believe in treating people as equal individuals which is why I am an Egalitarian
