Is the future generation in trouble without gender roles?

Question

What do you think is more important for raising a kid a dad who works hard fixes things protects and provides and a mom who nurtures the kids take care of the home is happy and supportive and makes sure everything runs smoothly? Or having a boss babe single mom who has mad Gucci bags and don’t need no man cause she’s an independent and works 16 hours a day. Which is better for raising the next generation do you think?

Both are important is the simple answer. As a child if you scrape your knee, you'd go to your mother first for care and a band aid. I think we all did that. A fathers role is different. Certainly I watched and learn't from my father doing things as a child - fixing stuff & making stuff. It is a little like learning a second language as a child; it becomes more intuitive in a way that it isn't if you learn a language later in life.

Even in this modern world that is important and not just to do with carpentry and car engines. It is more about how things work and believing you can understand the how.

As I understand it we learn how to interact with the opposite gender from our parents. There is g ood statistical evidence that girls lose their virginity earlier if raised in single mom households. I won't put any value judgement on that but just offer it as evidence that a present father affects the outcomes in their daughters lives.

There seems to be a similar effect with boys being more inclined to run wild if raised in single mom households. I remember taking a 5 yo down the street for an ice cream. He was eager of course and wanted to run in. But there was a woman also entering so I told him to "let the lady go first". He did and the woman smiled at him in appreciation which he really liked and I could see a light bulb come on.

It is. Nuclear family is still the best environment for raising a family.

Why do you assume these are the only options? What about having two caring parents who each do their job at nurturing the child and can be Independent if needed.

Also if you think its the womens job to care for the child. What about two mothers who care for the child. There will always be one available and they can teach their child both sides without confusing it that the dad is sometimes needed too in child care.

Like the opposite of tradition is not worst case. I would even say traditional gender roles are more likely to cause problems, than anything else.

Yes serious trouble

Apple1996 · Answer

I see both sides of it like traditional gender roles are great for providing a healthy ideal home for kids but sometimes parents (especially fathers) can be extremely toxic to their baby mama/kids so it's best for the mom to be single to avoid the kids having to go through trauma. Either way as long as the kids are being raised right then the next generation will be fine.

RingOfFire · Answer

Of course the future of the human race would be in jeopardy without gender roles. Gender roles have existed since the dawn of the human race. They have been the basis of the success of the species for millions of years as they are in every other species of living things on earth. No other trait of human existence is more responsible for survival of the human species or has been more enduring than gender roles. Males and females are each genetically designed for their own specific roles through millennia of evolution. Yet there are those who seek to misalign these roles with the genetic imperative we are born with. It is only on the most recent fraction of a second of the human history time clock that we have perverted those roles. We tamper with them at the risk of the end of our own species, which is apparently what those who would do away with them are promoting. They are species self-haters.

Pudsmucker · Answer

I would say the traditional family is the best way to raise a children today. No other success can compensate for the failure of the family. There should be defined roles in the home. Most of the time women are the best nurtures of children. But I've also seen men care for their children as well. Sometimes the roles need to be reversed because of employment. Mom goes out because she's a better breadwinner. Dad stays home because he has a hard time finding employment. No matter how the rolls are played it's best to have a father and mother in the home to give true guidance.

No we're better off without most of them honestly dont need that old fashioned shit, unless the without gender roles is having a xie/xer unicorn gender theymom with 20 piercings, pink hair at 40 and who dresses up as a dog for sex and orders around her femboy crossdressing househusband to take care of their theybies and make the vegan soy cuisine for the whole family and mop the house floor naked with a frilly pink apron everyday for theymom's two bisexual working concubinebands viewing pleasure. as long as it's not like that its good

mommymommymommy · Answer

Neither

If my mom didn't have a job, for the 4 years that my dad was laid off 3 times in a span of 4 years, we would be out on the streets. But, at the same time, she also knows how to take care of the house too

IT IS WRONG TO EXPECT THINGS JUST BECAUSE WE ARE OF A CERTAIN GENDER

Just because girls have the ability to have kids, doesn't mean they should. Lots of them, can't. My cousins wife is one of them, not for the fact of trying over and over. They just don't think it's going to happen

Pro life people, can go to He**

MrOracle · Answer

Kids need both a mom and a dad in the home - kids who don't are at a huge statistical disadvantage. Over 80% of people in prison did not have a father in the home, and that's just one of a dozen areas where a kid without both parents are at a disadvantage.

richardcory · Answer

I think a child does best when someone is reliably around to take care of them, but it doesn't matter if that is the mother or father, or even someone else.

A nuclear family can still do a terrible job of raising children. My parents were 100% traditional but they a terrible job of parenting.

Anonymous · Answer

The former is obviously better for children. There are few people who would dispute that, but a lot of people try to justify it.

And yes, the human race is in deep trouble. Society is already badly fucked up and getting worse all the time. One of the biggest reasons for that is the fact that so many kids are raised by single mothers, without a father. I blame both sexes for that, but it's a huge problem that has countless repercussions, some subtle and others glaring.

I know this will ruffle feathers but most single mothers incapable of raising a boys to be a good man. What we have today is weak men raised by single mothers who are breeding and perpetuating the problem. It's a vicious cycle that will ultimately lead to the collapse of western civilization. It's coming.

AaronKrieger · Answer

There will be gender roles still, since the majority of people are for them. Only a small amount actually are against them, but social media makes it appear as if there are way more. If that ends up changing by the age I'd be ready to have a kid, then I'm moving to a different country lmao

Very much so, like it or not we didn't retain gender/Sex roles for millions of years without a reason.

Biology still plays a very big role in defining what role you can most effectively do. Partnerships who wast time and energy in non-optimum role assignments are impoverished and disadvantaged by said choices.

NathanDavis · Answer

a society without such stereotypes and narrowed prejudice...

Unit1 · Answer

Definitely not. All they need is money to afford shelter, utilities, food, healthcare and... well, they're gonna fund their addictions. Caregivers? So long they're not abusive assholes.

grega239 · Answer

Kinda.  Look at the people who are stepping away from them. They change pronouns, identify with a made up gender and have mental health issues.

Sasha0426 · Answer

How about stop forcing your kids to live up to your standards?

LiamJHayden · Answer

It tends to be self-correcting. If the current trends prove detrimental, they will eventually weed themselves out of the system

WhiteBoyChill · Answer

I definitely agree with your sentiment. Although I will say it is hard finding a traditional woman. Are they more common in Italy?

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

A devoted housewife and a hard working husband for sure!

Anonymous · Answer

The first option tends to be better for raising children. But I support people's right to live they way they want to.

shades777 · Answer

A kid needs a father and mother for guidance, all that other bullshit you said don't matter

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

I don't believe a small portion of trans/whatever is really that much of an issue.

humanearth · Answer

There will always be gender roles.
