I was in history class and we were talking about the difference between men and womens roles in the Middle Ages. Peasant men were in charge of farming a lot and getting food for the family. Peasant women were in charge of going around and cleaning the house, taking care of children, cooking, etc. Noble men were in charge of making sure their land was being well kept by the peasants, where as all the women had to do was go take care of their kids and teach then how to become a respectable man or woman. Over time I think the roles of men and women have changed gradually. Women are able to become the 'leader' of the household and have a steady job and not just take care of their children. Also men can become stay-at-home-dads, and take over the classical "womans jobs" in the home. I think its nice that our generation has the options to be either or in the roles within our lives. [:
