i like taking care of my boyfriend...so what? (gender roles & expectations in modern relationships)

Transparency Card

Women are no longer in the kitchen. In fact, we're in the streets, shaking ass and wreaking havoc... and GOOD FOR US. Women are more empowered than ever today. I mean, I could nearly do whatever I want and yet, I still choose to clean my home and make my boyfriend dinner. Bizarrely enough, engaging in acts of service for my male partner -- especially as a modern, progressive woman is considered controversial today. Is this internalized misogyny? Am I seeking male validation to determine my worth as a woman? Am I another pawn of the patriarchy? Or do I just like a clean home and to see my partner with a full belly after a long day of work? Many of us want the Instagram lifestyle but not the sacrifices that come with it. I question, can we really have our cake and eat it too?

I don't know. But what I do know is today's guest, Deidra (my best friend) and I break down the expectations associated with the different sexes in modern relationships and why we at times still fall into those traditional roles... sue us!
