Subject: Truly Free Personality

When you look at the traditional sex roles around the world, we here in the U.S. probably have the most liberal viewpoint as to how we accept the more recent changes in those roles. I think more women are doing more male oriented jobs since the mid to late 80's than before. You see more firemen, policemen, construction workers, judges, chefs and ministers that are female as well as many other fields. Many people view this as out of sorts, especially because these roles were almost exclusively male before women wanted to do the same jobs as men. On the other hand more men are learning to deal with women being the bread winner of the household, and taking the role of Mr. Mom. Not your traditional role either. Many males do not handle this situation well, role reversals take time to learn and/or adjust to.
When many societies put the male before the female in the way they are raised and treated, the possibility of ever seeing a truly free personality will be a long way off. Boys are given the chance to be educated over girls in many countries, given food for survival over the females, and in many countries the female is looked at as a burden to a family.
Traditions are hard to change, it will take along time before non-traditional roles are accepted easily between men and women. Many will continue to say that men should be the head of a household, corporation, or president even though a woman could be equally qualified for the same position.
Unfortunately I think traditional sex roles hinder the development of a truly free personality.
