Gender roles

I've never been a big fan of gender roles. Oh sure, if a woman wants to stay home and raise kids and do other stereotypical old fashioned gender things than by all means go for it. Feminism is many things (and almost all of them good) but one thing feminism is about is choice. Thank God ten thousand times that we live in 2017, where a woman can choose to be a senator, astronaut, mom, doctor, or whatever she damn well pleases. It's insulting and asinine to say "A womans place is in the home." Thankfully, now when you say that it shows how backwards you think. It's on the decline, and good riddance to it. 

The other good thing is that a man can now stay home with his children, do the housework, cook, clean, and do other things that were once stereotypically feminine characteristics. Sure, you'll get comments from idiots insinuating that you are somehow less masculine or feminine because you don't buy into the traditional way of things but in reality those comments show more on the making the accusation. 

To me, gender roles take away individual choice. In the end, a man or a woman gets to decide what they want to do. It's so frustrating to me that religious people seem to buy into the old fashioned gender roles.
