my family has the typical gender roles in it.  my dad goes to work and gets paid, and my mom stays at home and cooks and cleans. pretty “traditional” i guess. i dont like that though that people think that is how it should be. when i am older and married with children, i do want to raise them, but i also want to work. im planning on going into the medical field, and that takes a lot of time and money, so i am not going to do all that work and get myself into debt so that i just wont work. back in the day though, there were no females going to work to support a family. im glad its different now, so that the family can decide what is best for them to do in order to maintain a functional family. i completely am opposite of a traditional female gender role person, now that i think about it. because i do want to work as an adult. i also do not know how to cook and would much rather not clean =] what i hate about gender though is the double standard that is held for men versus women. like how parents treat their children differently depending on their sex. that is not fair. or how when a guy has sex with a lot of girls, he is considered cool or whatever because he can get all these girls, but thats stupid. girls can get much more guys than any guy can get of girls, but if a girl goes for it, she is not thought of the same as a guy. instead she is a slut or whore. thats not fair. and i hate how a woman and a man can have the exact same job doing the exact same thing but the female gets paid less than the male. why? most of the people i work with, even though i work with younger people, like twenties, on average, the girls are much better at their job than the guys. females have it rough =] just joking. they actually have it a lot better than back in the day. females back then had it rough.
