Yum! Gender

Gender roles have been around for a long, long, time and the media has definitely been one of the biggest influences. We constantly see the woman at home cooking their husband a nice meal, cleaning the house and taking care of the children on the telly. But the man however is not usually seen cooking, or cleaning or taking care of the child, he is usually out of the house, like at work. Men are seen as the providers and protectors of the family. Where as woman are seen as the ones who care for the child, clean the house and please the husband with a nice hot meal on the table right after he comes home from a hard day of work. All that we have seen time and time again on the t.v.(especially in old shows and movies) but gradually though i feel these gender roles are changing. We see more women out working then we used too and we see more men cooking, cleaning and taking more care of the children then we used to. Slowly gender roles are starting to bend but i don't think they will ever completely snap and change.
