Why do the strains of changing gender roles tend to be more difficult in working class families?
What will be an ideal response?
Working class families tend to advocate more traditional gender roles, ones that emphasize a woman's role in domestic chores and child rearing. However, economic realities often dictate that the woman work outside the home to help provide for the family's needs. Working class men are less likely to help with domestic chores, and feel more challenged by their wives' employment. This creates a strain between the desired state of affairs and reality.
