Gender Roles Discussion

I love this stuff!!

I was raised by my mom, and therefore I learned while growing up that the "person" who is home is the one to take care of the kids, cook and clean. I did not learn the traditional gender roles... man does - women does.. I am very open and think that each person has roles defined by their experience. As an adult I am the one who does the majority of the house stuff in our family (granted not as well as my wife wants it done). When I talk to some of my peers they would never drive the Minivan (my Honda!) or cook dinner for the family because it would make them a "Chick."

What do you see as your Gender? When did you learn your gender roles? When did you discover your sexuality? - I do not mean sexual behavior or activity...but when did you learn about relationships and dating...

Where do you see your Gender Roles in 10 years? What about when you are 50? What about when you are 70?

You know that a friend of yours has recently developed a competitive computer program. You also know that he spent few months working on it and it cost him much. You can successfully, with no chance of being discovered, pirate this program and sell it at tens of thousands of dollars, and thus pay your son's operation expenses.
