Traditional Gender Roles

I found the presentation in class on traditional and changing gender roles very interesting. They made a survey about what students our age thought were traditionally male and female roles in the relationship and what they want them to be in their relationships. Before I took the survey I liked to tell myself that I was not the type of person who wanted a relationship with strict traditional roles. However, after taking the survey I realized that I favored a much more mixed roles type relationship. Yes I wanted there to be equality in the household but I still had the notion that some of the jobs were man work and some were woman work. I think this is the dichotomy that many people are dealing with in our society. While many couples agree that the work should be shared, society still tells us that traditionally certain jobs are assigned to a specific gender.
