There may be some changes, but I don't see a total role reversal working. To some degree societal roles arise from a natural order that is based on basic underlying differences between men and women.

But dont you see that that is exactly what is changing.

It used to be that the man was strong, powerful, in control, and was running things, and the female was submissive, and under male domination.

In todays society, women are now more educated than men, thus some would say smarter, if you will, than men(at least women are far more educated than men in the United States since women have outnumbered men in college for 30 years).

The "natural order" has been disrutped, men no longer hunt for the food, nor do they get the bigger paychecks.

Women have for centuries wanted men who were successful, had money and power, etc. Now, it is women who are in positions of power at many corporations, and it is women who are getting bigger paychecks than men(if they get any at all after being laid off from the factories).

Women are not used to marrying men who make less money than they do, who have lower status jobs than they do, who are less educated than they are.

There are only so many (few) men left out there today who are taller than women, who have more college than women, who have better and higher paying jobs than women, etc.

Perhaps some women are just continuing to do what they have always done for thousands of years: marrying someone who is more educated than they are, making more money than they do, is more assertive than they are, has more social and work status than they do......

, but that no one with biological male organs fits that description anymore?

Just a thought. Frankly, I am deeply disappointed in todays males, who are for the most part, uneducated, anti-gun, anti military, and basically just plain sissy for the most part, esp among the younger males who are not old enough to have been in ww2.

When most of todays young males do not carry guns, do not serve in the military, do not go to college, do not have good high paying jobs, do not get into fist fights anymore, do not race cars, just what do you expect a young girl to do?

If you are young, and you want someone who is tough, assertive, smart, eduucated, has a good high paying job, who is actively involved/engaged in politics, who may even have been a cop or in the army at one time, who probably played on the high school varsity sports team, then you are more likely to find a biological woman that meets that description as you would find a biological male who fits that description.

Dont blame me, I am from another generation, I just happen to see a lot of todays young males and females.

Personally, I don't see all that from where I am (central fly-over).
