Excerpt

Historically, gender roles have been rigidly defined. The female raised the family while the male provided. Recently, women's movements have made a broad range of goals accessible to women. Unfortunately, men are not as privileged because these broad-ranging role options are still not available to them. Society still confines today's male in a harness of stereotypical expectations. In most cases, the man is still expected to do what males have been traditionally expected to do: hold a job, own a house, and provide for a family.
