[quote=Anonymous]Agree with commenters that marriage roles are more about prefernces and abilities than gender roles per se.  I do wonder though if some of our gender differences cause us to take on certain roles though.  For instance, I am pregnant with #1 and DH has already agreed he will be taking on some extra work with daycare pick up/drop offs because I'm going to have to build time into my day to pump on breaks and hopefully be able to go by daycare and nurse at lunchtime.  So those taks are somewhat based on physical differences.  Also, I am petite so he tends to take on a lot of heavy lifting duties around the house such as mowing, garage door repair, anything requiring power tools, etc. whereas I'm much happier to do laundry and cook dinner.

That being said, I'm all for gender equality and either partner being able to take one whatever tasks work for the family.  Without gender equality, I would never have been able to go to law school and provide half our family's income.[/quote]
