I will be baking this evening. Woo hoo!

I remember a history professor I had who majored in Social History. He taught us the changing attitudes of society and the interesting thing was that originally, men agreed to do the labour and hard work as a symbol of admiration and praise to women. Women were encouraged to remain in charge of the private domain because their skills were better influences on the moral code of society.

Once men discovered the profits earned by their labours and the monetary exchange systems came into play, they began to develop their own standards of social values. Because their work earned money and ours did not, results were not enough. That was when the values of gender roles changed .

Since then, it has been a battle of the genders. Oh well, we all want strength in numbers. A partner is better than lone efforts. We just need to agree as to what roles are best met by skills and society has to place better value on non-masculine traits. (Figure the odds) lol
