It sure is. Sexual orientation alone does not affect people negatively in any aspect of their personality, and I think people should be able to live and fuck as they please.
Quote:
In the name of progress essentially the family unit has been destroyed. Over time Women have become more career minded however Men can still not be accepted as fathers or the emotional backbone of a family. It seems like family alone is no longer suitable to satisfy the desires of societies, it would mean nothing if the newest SUV with chrome rims wasn't in the driveway, so in the name of possesion the children become more distant as both parents are at work, less time is spent togethor as they drift towards the inevitable divorce that is so common now.
So if the number of 2 income houses increases so does the jobs market for single and one income houses. I mean what has really happened in the name of progress? I agree that there should be equality but it has to go both ways. So why have a guy be a stay at home guy? This could never happen cause the guy has to pay for the first date. If there is to be quality then every gender based expectation needs to be dropped.

I will tell you why divorce rates continue to climb as we continue through time; it is because women's rights are being recognized. This is not in the sense that you are describing however, but the fact that in the past, lack of women's rights meant that to fit into the norms put forth for them, they had to get married, and they had to stay married to survive, because their husban was their sole source of income. Now that they're being considered to be more or less equals (I stress this because it depends which dimension of society you want to look at to see who is placed above or below on the heirarchy), they have the financial ability to get a divorce. They are also more able to be equal in marital relationships, and therefore will say or do things that may cause the husband to want a divorce more frequently as well.
Gender-based expectations are slowly being transformed (not dropped) to better fit a society of financial and legal equality for both sexes. There are stay-at-home dads, and there are stay-at-home moms. The primary gender expectations in economy and law, and the whole "guy paying for the first date" thing are expectations of individuals and small groups; not of society as a whole.
