Search Results: changing gender roles

Obviously there will always be 'proper' relationships but will our generation see a world where these are oddities rather than the norm? I came across an article about relationships in Japan and how the sex, birth and marriage rates there are declining and was suprised by how depressing and how familiar the situation in Japan was.

Basically it descibes how changing gender roles, financial problems, techonlogical changes and poor social skills are leading to a situation where both genders almost give up on romantic relationships.

Did you know there are different types of feminism? What kind of feminism, or lack thereof, do you fall under? Don't focus too much on the titles; please read through the descriptions. I couldn't include all the types, but I chose the ones that I feel cover the most territory. Also, I tried to make descriptions that are easy to understand, so don't get too upset if they're not up to your standards. You can find more info on the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminist_movements_and_ideologies

Implicit - Women already have enough equality under law, and they're pretty much equal already. Feminism is exaggerated and unnecessary.

Masculinist - Men deserve more respect and should have different jobs than women. Feminist ideas negatively impact traditional ways of life.

Anarchist - Our society is a patriarchy (run by men) and is inherently unequal and rooted in history ("herstory"), politics, media and culture. It can only be overcome with dramatic change. (Also chose this if you believe in female superiority. Sorry, ran out of poll options)

Socialist - Women should break out of the traditional feminine lifestyle to become empowered. Traditional jobs and roles for women are ones of low value and lacking power (housewife, secretary, factory worker).

Womanist - Gender equality can only be achieved by asserting equality for everyone. Feminism tends to ignore or overshadow issues of race, sexuality, etc. (Chose this if you advocate for feminism for a particular culture)

Cultural - Femininity should be embraced and respected. Most gender issues come from our over-valuing masculine traits. Men and women shouldn't have to act masculine to be empowered.

Liberal - Inequality issues related to women can be fixed with activism and increasing awareness. Our current society is fully capable of having gender equality if enough people are aware and support it.
