Gender dynamics of U.S. families?

Question

what are some examples of what is happening with gender dynamics of U.S. families currently?

Answer 1

The woman is gaining power- look at Hilary Clinton.  20 years ago women were only dreaming of becoming president, now one is actually in the running.  However, the woman is forced to live a double life as a corporate exec and then most often times as a housewife at home.  We haven't pulled out of that, but we're trying and slowly succeeding.  Also, the size of the family seems to be falling as men and women are working more and the cost of living is increasing.  This leaves more time for men and women both to pursue interests outside of the home.
