Okay. I understand that these can be really good, but isn't the pressure put on men to provide really bad? If a man can't provide he's basically worthless in society's eyes, which is why so many kill themselves..they feel like a failure.

I know it says men protect, but the man typically would also be the provider in this family arrangement. No?

Nah, the roles in the family can be different depending on what the respective members agree upon imo.

If a man works and a woman stays home-great. If a man stays home and a woman works-also great. If both work good for them!

As long as nobody is forced to do something against their will and are happy with the situation, i am happy for them.

Same for gay relationships btw. :)

I am a guy and I can be the heart at times. She can be the protector at times. Not sure about main roles, have to be in a relationship to figure that out ;)

I know many men who give a lot of sacrifices for their families money, time, efforts, they drain themselves, btw family can be parents too.

I didn’t really agree with this antiquated attitude but having said that if there’s a noise downstairs in the middle of the night it’s me that has to creep downstairs with nothing more to protect myself that my wife’s hairbrush.

So just curious, how do you feel about gay marriage, now don't get me wrong, this post could just be about straight men, I'm just curious

MarsNirgal · 2020-06-03T17:04:45+00:00

This is a bit obsolete, ¿You know?

Men can be part of the heart of the family and should be just as much as women. And women can be protectors just as much as men.

Also, there are same sex couples where both parents are both the protector and the heart.

This picture feels like trapping people in pre-asigned roles that, while they may fit what most of society does and wants, should not under any circumstance to be considered absolute.

Antogonissimus · 2020-06-03T18:44:09+00:00

Honestly, if you like it that way, do it. But I think both men and women should be provider, protector and heart of the family.

Why? Why can't a man be the heart of the family? Why can't two men or two women form a union? Get this traditionalist bullshit out of here the old fashion family values are the root cause of a lot of men's issues.

That's so bullshit

I like the idea, ngl, but people should be able to choose to structure their family however they want right? If a woman wants to make money and provide, she should be able to, likewise she should be able to follow the typical way woman want to go without fear of being harassed by feminists.

This idea is kind of the default, and shouldn’t be condemned, because a lot of people prefer it that way, but we should allow others to do things a different way.

I no longer support marriage. After all the shit women have pulled the last 50 years. Men never benefit from a marriage. You always have more to lose.

Kids if you look at statistics are almost always better off with single fathers rather than single mothers who produce drug addicts, abusers, weak men, rapists, and dysfunctional men who have no ambition to better their situation

Jakeybaby125 · 2020-06-03T11:05:30+00:00

I'm not sure what I think of it. The message is good but it can be seen as homophobic by stating that only a man and a woman can be together.

RyansPutter · 2020-06-04T05:54:19+00:00

I think gender roles are up to individual couples to decide. In my family, my father was the breadwinner and my mother was a housewife - so they had traditional gender roles. But when my sister and I went off to school, my mother had a lot of free time so she spent it doing all of the home improvements and maintenance. She repainted the house inside and out, ripped up the carpet, re-tiled all the rooms, etc.

But what if the lady has a penis 🤷‍♂️

It's up to the members of the family to individually decide their roles in it.
