I've long been fascinated with trends in society and culture..how male & female roles have changed for example..
I remember at my Dad's Country Club in the 60's- 70s there were no single women members ...women belonged through their husbands and they played golf only at certain limited times - ...Dad's Business club downtown had only male members (sorry) and women could only eat there on fridays at lunch and only with their husbands.....married women where I lived stayed at home...
2007 - on my street there are 8 men that are at home.....6 have wives that work - me included...some are young and take care of the kids...couple OR guys...there is one ER 8) ....the other day I found myself in the street talking with 2 young dad's with their 5-6 year olds, an 89 yr old and my next door neighbor who works from home...no women - there are a few elderly ladies and I think there are only 2 old style marriages where only the man works....and a couple where both work...
amazing and cool that there is this role flexibility today in the US - wonder what it will be like in 20 years...
