Traditional roles makes things stagnant and stale. Plus, not every person fits the roles assigned to them. Let people do what they want and figure that out for themselves as long as it doesn't hurt anybody.
Only the weak minded try to control others and can't think for themselves. If you like gender roles in your relationship and still support others' freedom, I have no problem with you. I'm doing what I want and refuse to follow gender roles. I'm an individualist and want an equal who is independent and can hold their own and am not threatened by it. I can hold my own and expect the same
I say you play the role you're gifted at. If the woman is incredible and flourishing in the corporate world, but the man is good at keeping the home together, would you mess that up? I wouldn't. I say play to your strengths
i am happy to see that yes out numbers the no's by quite a large margin.

Frankly they were better than the train wreck we are currently experiencing, however i believe what we have right now is a necessary growing pain towards something better later on, we just happen to be living through an awkward period of change.
I think it gives people something to aim for in life. With more women in work and with careers they tend to prioritise their work life over starting a family. I think it is okay during their younger years but as they get older and get closer to the wall their priorities begin to change. Pressure builds up and they make bad decisions. Its sad when I hear women who've hit the wall and live out the rest of their lives with bitterness, regret and with a bad life partner or none at all.
As a guy I don't have a problem being the male of the house, but I also don't have a problem doing the dishes. My girlfriend is a feminist and she has to deal with me being a guy but she loves it when i fix her car and vacuum the house. Its just supporting each other, she'll have the kid so I have to do more than just earn a paycheck ( we both work).
I think it's more accurate to say that there needs to be some cultural norms for roles, whatever those norms may be. Doesn't necessarily have to be what we know as traditional gender roles.
Yes, very important. Couples not having kids, or people who are even incapable of having a relationship are the death of a culture. A few are tolerateable, but as it is now, our society will go extinct
Women are usually want gender equality especially when it comes to wages at work plain and simple if you as a women can't do the same work as a man you shouldn't have the same benefits.
Average maternity leave in the U. S. is 10 weeks, and while it's largely paid leave at the discretion of the employer, it's mandatory paid leave in some states. In some countries paid maternity leave can be a full year or more.
If you paid two employees the same yearly salary, but one of those employees worked 40 hours a week for 50 weeks that year while the other employee didn't do any work at all the entire year, which one is more productive?
Traditional gender roles are great, but they don't work in these times. Change is nessesary. The world is overpopulated, mom's need to work to live, etc.
They make times good and strong. I mean women deserve respect but men should be in control. While the woman's opinions should weigh heavy on his decision he should make a decision based on what he thinks is truly and morally right for his family.
I don't know but our grandparrent marriages lasted like 50 years our parrents like 20 or 10 relationships nowadays are lucky to get to a year so they where doing something right that we are not
Gender roles? Ew. Keep that. I provide for myself, I am my own rock. I should have a man that is my rock and provides for me? No thank you. I am strong for myself. So are loads of other women, and men.
I admire that! These people (both men and women) trying to pull you down are weak! Don't take this rhe wrong way, but I'm my own rock, too and you (despite being in the minority of this thread), gave me hope. Thank you

No, they are outdated and sexist!!! We are in the 21st Century let's get with the times!!!

That's because it's what fits me, not because I'm judgmental
Absolutely. A man should have his role of a man in providing structural, protection, guidance and discipline.
A woman should be raising and loving her children and running house matters to make sure everything is in order and right.
For society? Absolutely not. If they’re actually enforced.
For for individual couples who actually want to live their lives that way... why not.
Yes

Yes! Categories lead to organization, which leads to functionality.
Of course the gender roles don’t have to be overly rigid, there will be exceptions to every rule... but overall categorization is good

They have served us for over 200 years and I'm sure they can serve us another 200 years if we even make it that far.

maybe in physical labor, but women can produce as much as men can
But physical labor is what counts in most jobs

@Sarcastro Lol girls aren't pregnant all the time 24/7 though.
You're right, employers could take a chance and get lucky.
