But men acting like men is innate, and vice-versa. This going over the top to act like the opposite gender seems so trendy and speaks to an annoying culture to me.
As far as "roles" in the household go, they are obviously a byproduct of environment. That's not what I'm talking about.
I see what you are talking about. It seems that most people are denying the whole 'woman at home, man at work' thing just because it has become the norm not to follow that stereotype, not because they believe that one shouldn't have to conform to a certain lifestyle just because of their sex. Its the same thing with so many other things. They don't belive in more progressive idea because they actually think, they just follow the standard that has been set by society.
