What's your role? I was asked the other day what’s the role of a woman. I wasn't sure. I mean of course everybody has their own opinion of what a woman’s role is. The answer I gave was probably what society led me to believe and growing up and looking at the women in my life. I know all kinds of women, single, married and even divorced. I looked at the different roles they all had as women.
After I started thinking about my answer I still was unsure about what a woman’s role is. Back in the older days women really never had much of a voice. They were known as breeders, house wives and other things. They were told to stay in the kitchen, don't work, keep the house clean, and make sure that it's a cooked meal on the dinner table every night. Don't forget the most important thing (well it is to me) is to raise the kids. What is our role really? oh how times have changed. Back in the day women weren't in the workforce like they are today. Now, there are so many successful women that have the roles of mom and superior roles in the work place. These important women even have men looking up to them.
Should it be equal or should women reverse roles?
I know some men that are great cooks and are in relationships where their cooking more and not only are they proud of it but they are happy. Should it be equal when it comes to cleaning and cooking and raising the kid? Let me know what your interpretation of a women's and a man’s role.

I feel that a woman's role in definition has changed compared to what it used to be. Women have always been known as the "house wife" or something of that nature. Now, women have not only become more powerful in the work place but in many other aspects as well. In some families, the woman have become the "bread winner" (which use to never be the case). I also agree that it seems more men are doing cooking and I think that is perfectly healthy and functional. When it comes down to it, each person, regardless of their sex, is entitled to their own role. There shouldn't be a label posted to anyone listing their "duties". As long as it works for the individual and/or family, then it works for both parties. The fact is: women are not usually seen as equal to a man's job. But, this world is changing and women are continuing to rise above and beyond expectations. My personal opinion, as an independent woman, is to always take care of myself and be able to stand on my own two feet. But, I will say that a home should always have a "Man of the House" and the man should take on that role (whatever that may be). Either way, I say to each it's own.

ReplyDeleteI believe the women role is the same as the men role to put forth the best effort to make the individuals around them happy. The physical
