"Gender Roles and Marriage"

  Men are expected to have more power over marriage but in the U.S that seems to be wrong women and men are equal. Women are treated better .......the gender roles are more equal then men having the power like in some other countries. Since more women are working they become more independent causing a change to the gender role. Men in return are doing household chores and child care work.
This passage I found has more statistics then others and is repetitive in most sections........... just trying to state that from over 30 years the roles of women and men changed and even the ideas of what a husband or wife should be. More women are taught to be more independent on getting money rather then marriage and this is what changes the gender roles.

"the Rise of Wives"

This article gives statistics that men are better off marrying in today’s society due to the education of women. 1 out of 5 marriages women earn more money then men do. Sounds to me like the men have the better deal in marriage. It’s a significant change from the1970's were women where meant to stay home and take care of the children. This creates a more equal role of head house and a sharing in responsibility.....women now earn 71% of what males get doing their job!!! Isn’t that illegal?? Yet most people do it! I don't know but that seems to be wrong to me. In the end the result is having equal husband and wife roles....

I want a wife by Judy Brandy

Just read "I want a wife (1971)" by Judy Brady, she expresses the desire for a wife and frankly........ I want one too!!!!!!!!!! The wife seems to be treated as an object, when warn out just simply get another,  better one, start a new slate ITS THAT EASY !!!!!A wife is expressed more as a slave that works only for you and everyone you want her to work for she also helps to pursue your dream of finishing school. Judy Brady does not express the wife's point of view but just how ridiculous the man's point of view is and it gets straight to the point stating that if there ever was a person like the males view of a wife everyone would want one emphasizing a wife being an object. Picking a wife is like picking pants, finding the one that is most "suitable" to your needs.... do you want it blue? tight? old or new.... its crazy!!! seeing how women where treated and some still are and the males expectations of how a wife should be .... well there isn't a wife like that so to bad....  I love her statement and her ways of showing it!!!!!!!!!! 

Every girl should be independent!!!
