Mike asks,How come the men in today's time are supposed to be the ones to bring home the money and support the family? It is very stereotypical that the men go to work in the morning and come home late and do the same thing day after day while the woman stays home and raises the family. How come it can't flip flop? Would America change?
I think that the woman could go work and the guy could stay home or the other way around. I don't really care at all. But, I believe that the woman should still help support the family instead of raising it. Plus, the kids could be raised with a little manhood instead of all womanhood during the day. I'm not trying to be sexist at all but I know a few guys are thinking the same thing. What do you think?
Editor's note: For a contextual frame of reference, we were talking about the women's movement in class this week and discussed women's changing roles in both the house and the workplace.

i totally agree with mike. i think the a lot of people sterotype these kind of situations. Personally i dont believe in which the women should stay at home and raise the fam. and the men should be out working. i think everything should be split equally. yeah i understand that the woman should be the nurturer for the children but that dosnt mean she has to do it 24-7. because i think the kids also need some male assistance in their life. also to me i think being a housewife would get really boring, and i would want to be out working and do my job to go out and help support my family.

Both my parents work. Most of the time my dad works later, depending on the schedule. Both my mom and dad help around the house, work, and still have time to spend with the rest of my family. I agree with Mike,though, and how the woman shouldn't be a stay-at-home mom and that she should help support the family as well as the dad.
