Born A Crime Review

Gender roles and relationship expectations seem to be outdated to some people and not outdated to other people. .There are certain gender roles in a relationship that men and women are taught and pressured to fit into.Where a man is strong and takes financial care of the family while a woman’s chore is to take care of the children,do the dishes,nurture and take emotional care of everyone. In the modern society, gender roles and relationships are evolving and moving away from the traditional defined roles for each gender.While traditional roles, such as women taking care of children and men taking the task of financial care are still present there is trends in more flexible expectation.Relationship expectations are changing with increased emphasis on communication, equality , mutual-respect, quality-time and acts of service.

Societal pressure to conform to traditional gender roles is slowly decreasing but still exists. For example, women are pursuing careers traditionally held by men. This is marked by an increasing number of women in men's fields such as the engineering role and men are talking more on childcare responsibilities. Relationships are increasingly based on equality, with partners sharing responsibilities, making decisions together and respecting each other’s opinion. Example; Nowadays if a ma gets earlier from work he prepares a meal for the family instead of waiting for the woman to cook saying that it’s a woman’s task to cook and not a man hence defying the odds of the traditional gender roles where a man was not supposed to be in the kitchen for whatsoever reason. Partner’s are expected to respect each other‘s boundaries, support each other’s goals, and create a supportive environment.This means that couples need to treat each other in a thoughtful and courteous way.Example, avoid name calling andinsults between each other. Relationships are less about fitting into rigid roles and more about celebrating individual differences and finding ways to accommodate them. By appreciating and acknowledging individual differences relationships can become stronger and more fulfilling.Example, being married to a different culture a man can assist the woman in accommodating into the culture and teaching her more about the culture rather than forcing them into the culture.
