So the problem I’m writing this blog post on is the unequal
expectations in relationships. At first, I was targeting the different
expectations a guy had for a girl and its reverse. So I found sites based on
expectations such as chivalry and its ilk. However, I realized that all those
disjointed concepts fell under a more stable problem of gender roles in
romantic relationships. These were defined in the scholarly articles section.
The sexual scripts illustrated the persistence of gendered relationship roles
and the ethnic article revealed that ethic and cultural back grounds form and
shape those roles. Drawing from my own experience and those around me, I can reasonable
justify those claims. This is within a margin of error as one man cannot see
the big picture. I’ve had my own personal relationship pit fall and I’ve helped
others so they wouldn’t make the same mistake I did. However these instances
aren’t completely restricted to my general area. This problem is subtle, but it
persist all around the world to various degrees of influence.
I am having a hard time understanding what kind of gender roles are so hard to depict in relationships. What examples do you elude to? That a man should be doing this, and a women should be doing this, type of thing? Im positive that those are in place and most relationships have those gender roles but it doesn't mean it is unequal expectations because I feel that they should both expect one another to do what is best for the relationship..
