How Are We Still Stuck in Gender Roles in Our Heads, if Not in Our Lives?

Sinopse

In our world people have either chosen or been forced to abandoned long-held roles along gender lines. If the woman earns more money, she has to work. If the man’s schedule allows him more time, he needs to take on more child-rearing. In addition, many of us are sick of traditional concepts of male and female. Do “sexy” uncomfortable clothes make us women? Does grunting monosyllabic answers about our feelings make us male? Even if we let these obvious stereotypes go, how many other preconceived notions are we carrying? The sweet understanding woman? The brave man at the battlefield? While traditional roles are crumbling on the outside, aren’t they still clinging to us on the inside? Join us as host Beth Green interviews Lynn Hillix and Todd Benton, two folks who have lived or are living role reversals in their homes. How does it feel? What inner conflicts still haunt them?
