Search Results: gender roles

We all want the best for ourselves in everyway we can, yet we live in a world of obstacles to navigate, and because of those obstacles sometimes it's necessary be selective on what you want, and sacrifice that which you don't want as much. And because that's basically been life forever, we've developed instincts that suit what we're working with, hence one of the reasons why men and women are so different in their personality.

-Whereas men are pressured into the role of dominate, stoic, responsible, leaders who's safety and wellbeing is not valued at all, and are taken so seriously that when they make a mistake or do a bad thing they're treated with maximum punishment relative to what women and children get.

So do you embrace or reject your roles, and if so why?
Because one pattern I'm starting to see is those in healthy loving relationships tend to embrace them, even if they've spent the last 10 years playing little miss inderpendant or mr peter pan. And those repeatedly rejected who can't maintain a relationship tend to bitterly reject them to protect themselves.
