Question

• How do gender role stereotypes affect relationships?

Answer 1

That depends on the people involved.

Answer 2

If truth be told, they don't. I belive in the old fashioned world men would work and look after there wives while woman would clean and cook and look after the children. I have not met a man in a long time that was willing to look after me before himself, consquently, due to the large increase in play schools and the amount of nannys employed even by the stars of hollywood, woman are not stereotyping themselves and staying at home, lookin after the children. The real question here is..Is this a bad thing? Due to fashion, and ways of life it is like gender no longer exsists. Each and every person chooses how to treat their other half regardless of what gender role tells us to do. Men no longer "hunt, gather and protect" their woman, and quite frankly woman no longer look at s*x in such a deep way. It is the person, their unbringing and their ways of life that affect relationships, not gender role.

Answer 5

It sets the standards in our society how we should live our life. Just look at babies for example. When we are born, the male baby is dressed in blue and the girl baby is dressed in pink. Our parents sterotype what we wear. Therefore, we learn to accept this sterotypes as part of human nature. When we date, men usually open the doors for the girls. Girls generally cook for the men and men work. We assume that we have certain roles that we have to do in order to be part of society.
