In James Leather's article Today's Gender Roles he describes his views on the gender roles of today's society. I am writing this to explain two things. 1) What exactly has changed. 2) Do we have to change as well.
In today's society it is not normal to see a woman being the main income for her family or to see said female own a company. The employment percentage of employed married women rose from 25% in 1950 to 67% in 1998. Recent studies show that it is even higher now. Also, in 1947 only 12% of women went to college after high school. Now in 2011 it is up to 72% and in 2006 it was shown that 58% of students enrolled in college were of the female population.
Now, a person could go around asking different people what their viewpoints on this was and that person would get mixed results. Some would say they liked the change, some would say that it needs to go back to women staying home and men working, or some, this guy included, might not care either way. So, do people have to change with the changing of the roles? The answer is........wait for it.......NO!!!
It is up to you, the reader. A person is free to make their own decision on this subject. A person can choose to be open minded and let a woman do what she wants or be a man who rules his wife with an iron fist. Either way, it's up to you reader. So, which is it going to be? Open minded or tyranny?
