Do conventional gender roles still exist in modern day relationships?
Wow. This is probably the first time my blurb title has ever precisely provided a complete meaning of the question without any further explanation needed on my part.
But that doesn't save you from me getting wordy and additionally descriptive.
Perhaps a better question would actually be if the gender roles still exist, and if they do (which I'm sure is the case in some relationships) does it really matter?
It's a new age. This isn't the era of 'Mad Men'. Commercials for laundry soap are being marked towards the Stay-at-Home-Dad. Being able to cook has become "cool". Women going hunting has become "hot". Are there still some expectations for us to maintain some gender-oriented items despite them being out-of-date?
So, if you're looking for a relationship how much of a Man's Man are you looking for. How much of a Girly Girl is being enough?
Do you expect your boyfriend/husband/boyfriend to prepare dinner when you're working late? Do you mind that your wife/girlfriend can clean your clock (and wallet) at poker?
How about when <i>courting</i>? Does it really matter these days who asks who out? Who makes the first call? Who approaches whom? *<i>again remember we are trying to throw away all conventionality</i>*
