The article http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/30/study-says-traditional-gender-roles-may-be-thing-of-the-past/#! says that the traditional gender role is starting to fade away and things are changing in America today.
The article begins stating that married women are now more likely than ever to out earn their husbands and be the primary breadwinner. In 40 percent of American homes that have children under 18, women are the main breadwinner of the household. This number increasing from 11 percent in the 1960, shows the changes in the American society.
In recent years there has been a dramatic increase in working mothers, as there is often a need for 2 incomes to support a family in a declining economy. Only 31 percent of American households maintain the "traditional" household as opposed to 70 percent in 1960.
Although having 2 incomes in a household does make paying the bills easier, it makes raising children all that much more difficult. This suggests a return to "traditional" gender roles, yet reality does not show that to be true. Studies show that 79 percent of people reject the idea of women returning to the old gender roles.
As society changes, so do the roles we all play in it. As more and more women enter the work force, the idea that women should stay at home and take care of the house and kids is starting to be nothing but the past.
