Functionalist Murdock suggested as children we are socialised into societies shared norms and values and he believed that males provide the economic roles and females provided the expressive role. Therefore it is natural for women to play the expressive role in the household looking after the family’s emotional needs. However, radical feminist Ann Oakley argues that the role of the housewife is a social construction and isn’t linked to the female role. The housewife role makes sure that women stay inferior to men making it difficult for them have careers. Women carry out the triple burden in the household; the domestic labour, emotional labour, and paid labour.
Jarret McCallister Ms. Smith W131 27 February 2013 Critique: “A Mother’s Day Kiss-Off” In “A Mother’s Day Kiss-Off,” author and editor of Vanity Fair, Leslie Bennetts, starts out criticizing society, specifically men, for being unsympathetic towards the sacrifices women make. She makes generalizations about the resentment that all women feel when it comes to being a housewife. Bennetts then contradicts herself by shifting the blame over to women for accepting the domestic role. She goes on to provide suggestions as to what women should be doing differently to advance their social status and gain more independence. By changing the main focus of her paper and making over-generalizations about the way that all women feel, Bennetts takes away from the effectiveness of her argument and weakens her overall credibility.

A tolerant society has opened the defining umbrella of today's nuclear family to include people of alternate life style choices. Divorced couples, single parents, inter-racial couples, and same-sex partners are all included in today's nuclear family. Life style choices that only a few years ago would have been considered shameful or even perverted, today are sometimes considered better than the normal "sit-com family." Paula Fomby, who grew up in a gay home, writes: "I'm lucky to have been raised by people I genuinely like, and being a woman raised by women….It is time for society to expand the definition of family"(132). What is meant by the "breakdown of the family" is, then, change, which sometimes may be for the better.

Just as you learn different rules by whom you surround yourself with, gender is that same way. Journalist, Clive Thompson, observes that “males and females display different types of behaviors;” these behaviors that are acted upon are setting guidelines as “children recognize certain sex-role identities” (Atwan 82). This point is also proven in Frank McCourt’s novel From Angelas Ashes when the mother character, Angela, has to stay home and take care of her family and can’t do anything about the father taking the hard earned money to the pubs to drink it all away. With these influences on gender roles in society it is understood that “boys tend to be more aggressive and competitive, while girls’ behavior is generally more social and accommodating,” (Atwan 82). These classifications among men and women help to set a barrier to show the differences each gender has on society and how these common tendencies they acquire start to develop who they are.
