In today's society the roles of each gender are slowly but surely changing. With both men and women in the workplace the roles of breadwinner and child caregiver are shared. The lines that once separated men and women has been continually blurred. We currently live in a society where women have become Presidents and top CEO's of corporate America and men have specialized spas and beauty products. Fifty years ago people would have probably thought these two scenarios as being just a joke. Along with the overwhelming progress both genders have made in breaking down stereotypes and societal norms each gender has gained expectations in their duties. Women have had to break past barriers to show their strength in the workplace, while still fulfilling the role of the family matriarch. Men have had to prove their worth in the home more than past generations in both household chores and child rearing. This great change in gender roles over the last century is an amazing feat for both men and women, but there is still much room for growth in change. It is hard to say where society will be a century from now, but hopefully men and women will continue to show that the roles in homes and the workplace can be shared and done well.
