Let me clarify, in my opinion, I am not finding lack in others, I am finding that society in general views homemaking as less valuable than it once was, that because "we" have set wage earning jobs as the goal, all other roles and jobs are somehow less valuable.
Ironically, that's likely due to gender roles. Man's work has always been more valuable than woman's work.
Most men do not know how to properly exercise power in a relationship and it results in physical and verbal abuse to keep their girlfriends/wives in check.
It allows both men and women to pursue what they want and may have been previously "off-limits" for them. Women have the option of being a SAHM and having a career. Men have the option of being a SAHD and having a career. It is no longer (or not as) shameful for men to pursue traditionally "women's work" jobs like nursing, cooking, fashion, etc. Same for women. I think that's a good thing.
Over the past 50-60 years, where there once were clear gender roles, (Men were the bread winners, women were the mommys) now it seems that which ever person can be whatever he/she wants. My question is not about women's liberation, (I personally would rather date/marry a liberated woman than a woman with societal limitations), but instead how do you think blurred gender roles have effected our (hetrosexual) relationships...
Well, for starters, I think that thinking in terms of gender roles will hobble any relationship. People are people. How's that?

I think its fine for people go to traditional or modern. What I find a bit, I dunno, its when traditions are cherry picked to one's benefit.

I have no problem with heterosexual relationships. If you do, that's on you.
Not every woman wants to be a mommy.

Men had better start to utilize their freedom of speech in order to correct this upcoming mini-holocaust against men.
Oh, please.
Does it hurt the big boy ego not to be held on a pedestal?
That is something my lady has said about the socalled women of her age group buying into the whole idea of i do not need a man thing when they are in the 20's age frame and finding out when there 40's it alot of BS in that area of how it play's out .
She was telling me of the a couple of women who in her office have found out the socalled thing the Feminism movement has beening selling was a lie in alot of areas ..
As one lady said she on the other side of 35 looking around and wondering why they have not met someone to settle down with and be married and haveing kid's with ..
She has said it the movement saleing this lady's a bill of goods and then they have figure out the bill of good's they where sold was no good and now they have to pay for the mistake they have made in the way of relaitionship with men in this stage of there life's
And for every woman who thinks that way, another one doesn't. Worse, they can't admit that they wish that they never had kids or got married.
Yep, that feminist movement that allowed women to work outside of the home and get equal pay for equal work sure does suck. It's evil I tell you. Evil.
