They are no longer considered inferior and treated as property, except by Republicans.

I hope you get an answer to this question, because it seems such things are more left to individual interpretation nowadays. Many women hate to hear the phrase "a woman's role". It's sort of odd that everyone can think of what a man's role is, but a woman's is so unclear. Another question might be, Did the roles change, who changed them and should they have ben changed for today's women in the first place?

I think both sexes suffer the same amount of hard stuff in life because men are suppose to be the providers and fighters, whereas women are suppose to be the nurturers and the makers of life. However, modern society has allowed role-genders to change. More women are in the work force and some men are replacing the "house wife". With these changes, it is still allowing both sexes to feel as if they are suffering some hard times and stuggles.

This may not be universal truth. However, history shows that women have been the biggest enemies of women! whether socially, financially or otherwise. So you can imagine that if one gender does not respect itself, what could be the consequences. I think women very well understand this yet....?!

thank goodness this attitude is changing slowly but surely. remember in Ancient Times the Ladies were thought to be second class citizens and were the ones who brought sin into the world since Eve was the one who first ate the Forbidden Fruit and talked Adam into eating it. ( if one looks at the same scenario a little differently Eve -- representing the ladies was the one who brought wisdom and knowledge into the world ). before I moved I went to a Church where we had three Lady Ministers who did as good a job and sometimes actually better than men. should be the ability that counts not the gender.

It depends what part of the country you are talking about. The roles of woman in Mexican URBAN areas are the same as those in the cities in the U.S. However, you will still find small towns in certain states, specially those in the South, where traditional Mexican values are still alive and well. In those places there's a lot more to be expected from a woman socially (attend to their husbands, get married by a certain age, modesty).\n\nAnd even there, there are some excpetions. I recently found out about a community of indians in the State of Oaxaca where men are subordinated to the authority of women and to their wives. LOL!! So, you never know.

Well! according to me the role of US in the modern society has changed from the past. Previously t used to be known as the nation which could take the World to the next level of technology science. But now it is trying to dominate countries and make them obey its orders or face the consequences.

It's a mystery to me to me but it's really happening! Women are taking on all the dominant qualities men used to have. I think men might not admit it but alot of men have lost confidence and believe that women are better leaders. I think alot of people, male or female, won't believe it until we have a woman President.

I know it doesn't directly answer your question, but a few years back Arizona became the first state where the 5 highest state positions were held by women.

I personally believe that it is the way women have been viewed as taking the role of caregivers since the beginning of modern history and even before that. What do you think when you think of women in general? One image that automatically comes to mind is that they have the potential of becoming mothers, as someone who is more emotionally aware of others feelings, more emotionally attached to others etc. So basically most of the times women are generally made to function that way and other times they do it because society protrays them and expects them to act a that way.

In the past that was true that women were less able to generate a reasonable living wage. I don't see that as a problem today. Men and women are entering the work force with the same education and while I do think that there is still a "good old boy" mentality, most women are able to compete with men in many areas of employment and receive the same pay. I was a class A welder at a factory so that I could afford to support my son. I made the same pay rate as the guy's I worked with and did the same work. I got tired of damn near killing my self on a daily basis so I went to college and got a degree in nursing. I am a managing RN for a hospice and I make more money than many men I know. So, I am not sure who is still complaining, but it's not me. Have a good one.

From 1960 to the Present\n\nThe revival of feminism in the sixties is often dated from the appearance of Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique. This 1963 best-seller found a receptive audience among middle- and upper-class women whose experiences Friedan captured. Although her book was important for its challenge to the ideology of domesticity, other factors also contributed to the reemergence of feminism. Unprecedented numbers of married women were being drawn into the job market--albeit on unequal terms--as the service sector of the economy expanded and consumerism fueled the desire of many families for a second income. Both the growing numbers of women graduating from college and the availability of the birth-control pill (which accelerated the already noticeable decline in the birthrate) further encouraged women's entry into the work force. By the early sixties the contradiction between the realities of paid work and higher education, on the one hand, and the still pervasive domestic ideology, on the other, could no longer be reconciled. Equally important in sparking feminist consciousness were the oppositional movements of the sixties, particularly the black freedom movement, which was a source of inspiration and a model for social change for second-wave feminists.\n\nThe new feminism emerged from two groups of educated, middle-class, predominantly white women. The National Organization for Women (now) consisted mainly of politically moderate professionals; those who stressed women's liberation were younger, more radical women and typically veterans of the black freedom movement and the New Left. For the former, John F. Kennedy's establishment of the President's Commission on the Status of Women (pcsw) in 1961 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited employment discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, and national origin, were important catalysts for change. The pcsw, with Eleanor Roosevelt as chair, was charged with the task of documenting the position of American women in the economy, legal system, and the family. Its 1964 report uncovered such pervasive sex discrimination that many commissioners were shocked. Most states also convened commissions that similarly documented widespread sex discrimination. It was at the third national meeting of the state commissions in 1966 that now was born. Angered by the failure of the newly created Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (eeoc) to enforce the anti-sex discrimination provision of Title VII, twenty-eight women (including Friedan) formed the organization to pressure the government into challenging sex discrimination.\n\nLike the naacp after which it was modeled, now adopted a legalistic and assimilationist approach to achieving women's equality. Rather than challenging their subordination in domestic life, the feminists of now committed themselves to fighting for women's integration into public life. Early debates in now concerned the group's advocacy of abortion rights and the Equal Rights Amendment (era). Indeed, when now accorded top priority to the era in its 1968 Bill of Rights, women from the United Auto Workers (out of whose offices the first now mailings had been sent) were pressured to resign from now because of their union's opposition to the amendment. From the moment the era was first discussed by feminists in 1920, it had caused enormous divisiveness; many feared that its passage, by invalidating legislation protective of women, would lead to worsening work conditions for them. This time around, however, opposition to the era from progressive and feminist quarters evaporated quickly when it became clear that the courts and the eeoc were already interpreting Title VII as invalidating protective legislation. Indeed, the women of the United Auto Workers rejoined now two years later when their union endorsed the amendment.\n\nOver the years now's membership became more heterogeneous and it

It has generally been thought (in the past) that males have been the dominant of the species.\n\nHowever, now women and men are considered to be equals, and neither one is dominant.
