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 one I think it certainly makes it more difficult for traditionally and conservative-minded people (especially women) to find a partner, because in this day and age men expect more than to have a young, attractive girl in her prime to bear children and take care of the household all day. They want someone with equal intelligence and a career and life going for them, especially the men from my generation. Guys my age don't believe in gender roles and see them as antiquated. I think there's someone out there for everyone, no matter what your ideals and values are, so nobody should get bashed for being either traditional or liberal- "live and let live".

I think it creates more balanced and better relationships that are equally fulfilling and demanding on both partners.
Where there was previously an inherent inequality and shifted balance of "power", it can now easily be shared/mutual. I don't think that's anything but a good thing.
I agree with the posters above. It's a good thing for a lot of people. Based on what I've learned from my 93 year old grandmother, the gender roles didn't mean she got to live the leave it beaver life style of staying home with the kids and just keeping house. She did all those things, worked outside the home, but was limited in her choices of what she could do.
This is the result of women replacing a fair and caring system of feminism with a fascist militant form of feminism. Women are the majority in the USA and they are going to dominate whether you like it or not. Just look at how they behave.
Men had better start to utilize their freedom of speech in order to correct this upcoming mini-holocaust against men.

Of all the things that affect my relationship, gender roles is pretty far down on the list, if it's there at all.
In the future, I could see the fact that I really don't have the option of becoming a SAHM having some effect on things. But as we don't have kids right now, it's a nonissue.
