These days more fathers stay at home and take care of their children while mothers go out to work. What are reasons for it? Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

In modern times the traditional gender

roles

are changing rapidly, resulting in more fathers staying at home looking after their offspring and mothers becoming the main breadwinners in the family. There are numerous causes for

and I think it’s a step in the right direction. In the past few decades, there have been numerous women’s movements,

of which conventional gender

roles

have gone through a paradigm shift.

Although

equality was only acquired after long hard battles fought by women’s right groups against the misogynist practices that existed a few decades ago.

had a fair share of men’s movements whose main aim was to make men get in touch with their feminine side rather than feel ashamed and disgusted with it.

in many parts of the world and in fact in the minds of many people across the globe,

And since it has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that women can do most jobs just as good, if not better than their male counterparts there’s nothing wrong with mothers taking on

roles

that are traditionally thought to be men-oriented. All in all, due to successful women’s and men’s movements deep into the

last

millennia, genders
