#4 Gender roles

Sklar, Benjamin. Gender roles, marriage, and anger. June 10 2008, March 15 2009. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/10/gender-roles-marriage-and-anger/

In this article that i read from NY times. talks about gender roles.. obviously... well.. it talks about same sex relationships homes, and opposite sex relationship homes. it says that same sex couple homes usually split the household work evenly, but in a heterosex couple most of the househould work it for the women.. (like "back in the day") and when a heterosex couple live together but are not married the relationship is more egalitarian, like a married couple. apparently most women who's partner is a man, often feel angery about the amount of household work they have to do.. along with most of the "relationship work"
i agree with this, i think women have the right to get angry, sure men feel as if they need to be the support of the family, but that doesnt mean that they cant help out with household work also. and i also think that is more likely for a same-sex relationship to have equal work, becaue technically neither is the man or women.. so they cant go by that "rule"
