Notice that you said gender ROLES. Trying to follow a script can sometimes lead to a life of great unhappiness.Originally Posted by GACountrygal GG
I'd like to add some food for thought (gee I think thats my favorite phrase on this site) if I may.
has to do with the fact that CD is so outside the realm of "normalcy" (and I use that term losely since normal is such a broad term) It would be different if it was somethin like sports or fishin or poker with the boys. If falls WAY outside the "normal" gender roles. And as much as yall say screw society, society/culture DOES play a lot into peoples upbringing.
As food for thought, I'd point out that it wasn't that long ago that a wife who didn't do the cooking & cleaning & taking care of children was "so outside the realm of normalcy." It wasn't that long ago a black man & a white woman getting married was outside the realm of normalcy. It wasn't so long ago a woman wearing pants was outside the realm of normalcy, etc.
Society/culture plays somewhat into people's upbringing, but as an adult they make choices as to how they decide to live their lives, based on what best feels right for them, and that may contradict completely what their upbringing programmed them to be.
