Summary of Changing roles

According to Neil Walkingshaw’s experience, we could find out that parental rules have been changed. The convention wisdom was that a woman’s place was in the home and a man’s duty to his family was to put food on the table. After 1980s, however, greater numbers of workingwomen meant that men were no longer the unique breadwinner.

The public changed their view of the role men play in childcare. Besides, social scientists have found evidence to support that a father plays a role in child development that is quite different from that of the mother. Researchers have also figure out that the father in home can contribute the lower rates of juvenile crime. Some groups blamed this supports. They pointed out the absence of a father in family is the biggest social problem in modern society.

In short, if this theory is true, it’s possible to imagine a day all men will learn how to take care of their child.

feminism started to neogotiate with the patriarchy ideology like 80 years ago in western societies. some say that chinese culture is quiet feminine. i think gender role differs a lot among different ethno groups, along involves the unbalanced social power.

Though there are still some unequal treatments between male and female, the rights between genders are generally the same now. Forget about the genders, be who you want to be, and do what you want to do!
