In response to: If its a mans job to give us their seat on a crowded bus,pull out our chair,open the door for us,tell us i love you all the time,be the main bread winner,then what is a woman's job?
I'd say our job is to have the children nurture and support the kids and man. As well as pull our own weight and its unique for every relationship. whatever makes both people happy.
conjor: Then why?quote' Must we be main bread winners?????Why cant we be house hubby's since you have the tiger by the tail????
Keep hunting you might find a woman who will keep you up and let you be a house hubby. I prefer a partner who works together with me,i also like to be treated like a lady.
Southmiami1234: Love your man, support him, when bad times come be there and expect the same from him.......
Neither man or woman should expect any more or less than what they are willing to give.
Each person brings their own wants, desires and qualities into a relationship. Generally speaking, women know more about domestic stuff and even if they hold a high ranking job STILL earn less then their male counter parts. Men know more about tools (again, general) and often provide stricter discipline and family structure to counter balance woman's softer side.
This issue made out of gender equality is rediculous . Understand where it started, especially you guys out there. Men went to war, women picked up the tools of the mens trade. Men came back from war, women were 'put' back in their place. The biggest issue women had was with the right to break out of their 'role' if they either needed to (to support children who's fathers were killed in war, ect)or wanted to. The gender felt belittled and under appreciated, as many men do now. Thus the core of the conflict.
Many women prefer equal footing in relationships, it provides a sense of belonging and worth and respect that is given by their partner.

The core of the conflict arises when the domination / submission ratio is out of balance. Each man and woman has their own ratio. Some prefer the 50/50, others 99/1 and others anything in between. Some must lead, others must follow and others prefer to either do neither or share both to one degree or another. As individuals we have our own individual needs. In certain areas of our lives we may need to be dominating or submissive. A person may need to be dominating or submissive in the bedroom but the exact opposite in one, or more or all other areas in a relationship. These are core values and it is unlikely they will change for the length of a relationship.

I don't think this is the man's job. I think both people in a relationship should work together to take care of each other, of their relationship, of their home, etc.
