Gender roles: Men or women - who's really the breadwinner?
Loading player...
Society has dictated for a very long time how we as women and men should act, behave, and live.
According to a new study covered in the New York Times, 77% of Americans support fathers not working, but only when it makes sense to stay home. Co-author of the research paper and sociologist Kathleen Gerson said that people are getting away from social norms regarding gender roles in a family.
Stacey & JSbu were interested in knowing from KZN, even if a man doesn’t want to be a stay-at-home dad, would he have a problem with his wife being the breadwinner (as in he still works but his wife makes more money)? How does this affect his attitude and how does his attitude, in turn, impact the marriage?
Listen to the podcast to hear what KZN had to say.
