Husbands in the past were known as the “legal” head of household, responsible for its support and it links to the external society, while the wife was the mistress of the hoe, responsible for the day-to-day management of its internal affairs and the care and education of children. (pg. 2019) As times have changed this is no longer the case. Women are just as equal as men (in most areas). Women are facing their fair share outside the home in terms of discrimination. Women are still to this day discriminated against within employment opportunities and also wages/salary.…
1. There were several Freemasons who participated in the drafting of the United States Constitution. It was after the ratification of the constitution that Benjamin Franklin, while pointing to a chair, was overheard saying, "Throughout the days we have been laboring here, I have observed that sun, and wondered whether it was a rising sun or a setting sun.

In some instances, the roles have been reversed in this modern age and some women are the wage earners of the family and the male is the housekeeper and…

All these roles can be interchangeable as each year a new family member is added to the mix and new roles are assigned. It does not matter if a football game is on or one thinks cooking is for the women, but that if one wants to eat, one needs to help with the dinner. Nevertheless, most of my friend’s families just have the mother/aunts/grandmothers in the kitchen while the fathers/uncles/grandfathers wait until the food is ready. I am just pleased that everyone in my family helps out equally so dinner can be put on the table…
With the mainstreaming of social constructivist theories relating to gender roles, it is important for one to appreciate that all arguments surrounding gender roles are historically and culturally contingent. The meaning of this is that something that might be true about gender roles in one society’s cultural group might be different when it comes to another cultural group. Likewise, gender roles in all over the world have significantly changed over time. Therefore, there is no generalizable and universal statement regarding gender roles. The common thread in the discussion about gender roles has been the historical evolution of the family, from a time where families were single-income families, which were families where one spouse (the father) is in charge of…
