What Men Think Women Should Do in Life?

Not all men think alike, depending on their conditioning and outlook men tend to view the roles of women differently. It’s not a far truth though that most men would prefer a woman to be the "home maker". It need not be looked at as a "sexist" opinion, it’s just that men are used to the concept of women being the "nurturers" of our society since the primitive ages.

Men are quite welcoming of the fact that women have entered into all domains of work, but deep down it also causes them a sense of a lack of identity. In olden times the roles of a man and woman were well defined, the man was supposed to be the bread winner while the woman took care of the home and kids. Now there are no such defined boundaries, though there are still societies prevalent that follow this traditional way of citing roles.

Why do men prefer a "home maker"?

Ask any man and he would love for his woman to be a home maker who does not have to be professionally involved so she can invest all her energy in taking care of the house hold, which in fact is a big responsibility to start with. The realities of society have changed of course and most women are professionally inclined in today’s age. In many ways this has worked as boon as well as a curse for men.

While a working woman can help with the financial stability, she would find herself unavailable for most of the house hold activities. It’s quite common for the couples to dine out and hire a help in order to sustain their daily living. Most men are not altogether comfortable with this arrangement but they have come to accept this reality.

There is hardly any distinction in roles nowadays and men are expected to play their part in house hold functions like cooking, cleaning and taking care of the kids. Most men, who have a traditional thinking, find this quite repulsive to their tendencies. It’s common for petty fights to break out due to one partner finding the other one incompatible to his/her view point on how a home should be run.

Some men are still having a hard time with the "working" woman

It’s true that most men have transitioned into accepting the new roles of women in today’s age. They prefer an independent girl who can take care of her financial life and become an equal, or incremental, contributing member of the family. Women are finding success in all fields of professional endeavor be it a management or technical field and men are steadily coming to grips with the "new" woman.

The truth still is that some men are not really comfortable with these "new" arrangements. The issues of role reversal have become a stark reality in many households where the man is expected to cook and clean. You can’t blame these men for feeling a little peeved about the progressive mentality of their wife who is hardly around to take care of the house anymore. The dynamics of a male-female relationship is changing dramatically and it’s not moving in a positive direction either. The rates of divorces and separations have gone up exponentially and frankly neither men nor women seem quite happy anymore. Confusion and misunderstandings are the stark realities of most lives today.

May be the simple role definitions of the olden times would have ensured a smoother functioning house hold, but then change is the name of the game as far as life is concerned. Everything changes, and sometimes comes back to square one, and getting used to change is what allows for happiness. Men are catching up to the fact that they need to reprogram their minds to accommodate and adjust their positions on what they think woman should do in their lives.
