Um, is it a play? lol
Why do there have to be roles? Why can't it be a give and take partnership, with each person adding their various strengths to the whole? |

To keep me happy and in return I'll make him ecstatic.

LOL I don't need money. I do, however, need someone willing to help me repair the stupid shed doors - the last "wind storm" we had did some damage, and I get to play with the cordless drill and other power tools this weekend! |

The same 'role' as the woman's. This is modern day and not 1950 and back 200 years -- and more.
The man can be the bread winner or stay home and be the parent that is primary homemaker. The woman can be the primary homemaker or the break winner. Or, both can work. If they are breeders than family or childcare can take care of the litter! Equality, especially in this economy, is a must! I don't buy into the gender roles. |

I am like Melody I don't buy into the gender role thing much.
If I have to define it as a role, then I want a partner in crime... I want a companion, a playmate, a lover the list is endless, since I want out of the relationship what I am putting into it. I want it all and expect it from a man the same as he can expect it from me. |

I don't buy into the gender roles. in one of my classes at school i was told that its all well and good... and progressive...for a man to be the caretaker and the woman to be the breadwinner in theory... but in practice those marriages have a greater failure rate than when the inverse is true. soo... there just might be something to this gender role thing.

I am legend. Take me as I am, but I will always be working a job. If she wants to do that as well, good for her, better for the both of us.

how many men feel truly comfortable being "taken care of" by their wife and girlfriend? and how many women feel truly comfortable over a long period of time doing so?

I'm not sure what the stats say, but I have some friends who have been married for several years. He stays home with the kids, because her job paid significantly more. They're very happy with the way things work, and he's a great "Mr. Mom". I think the roles are entirely dependent on the people involved, and what works for them. Just because it's the way it's always been doesn't mean that it necessarily works for everyone :) |
