Relationship
The relationship would be so beautiful if men sticks to the role of provider and protector serving masculine role and woman sticks to the role of feminine touch and nurturer, provided both have their own life and individuality. It doesn't mean one can control each other and supports inequality. Both must be equal, independent and contributing equally in relationship. It doesn't mean men can't express emotions and women must suppress emotions. Both must be there for each other in good and bad times. I have seen women taking up masculine role and men taking up feminine role, cnsidering their upbringing and experience . But i just dont know. Many won't support my point but I am just my pov. I respect other pov. I maybe right or wrong..I am into traditional relationship. I have seen my grandparents.
@forcefulBirch2526 Your POV on traditional relationships is lovely. Having said that, in todays world, men and women play and switch roles a lot, for instance, there are women who are providers and men who take up supporting kids. i guess its all about what a person is from inside, how he or she expresses themselves to their partners, and how the partners embrace each other. Relationship is all about communication of emotions which cements and deepens the bond. It takes a lot of effort to connect emotionally and its a lovely experience i guess!!
Thank you so much for your words and stating your perception. I respect it truly. 💯
May God bless you ☺️
@forcefulBirch2526 i think your POV is both should be together... happy and safe..
entire mess starts when everyone starts to measure from their stick. Worse when they start to poke them. So call "4 people of society" starts to say women should be independent, men should give more freedom to women, it's her choice to do XYZ....
These "4 people of society" already have a spoiled relations and now they are here to spoil other's too.
Women's are unpredictable if men love them they stop valuing it.
Life without any women is so beautiful ❤️😍
I think what works, works! Different times, different needs and we adapt, I guess.
I totally get where you’re coming from, and I respect the traditional view—there’s something really comforting about the idea of clear roles, like the man as the protector and provider, and the woman as the nurturer. It can seem like a perfect setup for balance, like a classic romance movie.
But, here’s where it gets tricky (and a bit messy, like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the instructions). If we’re too strict about sticking to these roles, it can sometimes lead to problems. Like, if someone feels boxed into a role they don’t really vibe with, it can cause tension. Imagine a guy who really wants to share his feelings but feels like he has to be “tough” all the time, or a woman who loves her career but feels like she has to always be at home cooking. It can create some weird situations where no one feels fully themselves.
Of course, I’m not saying that tradition doesn’t have its place—some couples do thrive with these roles, and that’s great! But, it’s also good to remember that relationships are all about flexibility and understanding, right? A little mix-and-match can go a long way. Maybe the guy is the nurturer and the woman is the protector in some situations, and that’s totally fine too!
At the end of the day, if both people are happy, supported, and able to be their true selves, that’s what matters most—whether you’re playing the traditional roles or just winging it and figuring out what works.

@brightaday For myself, and this is speaking for myself and my point of view, is that fully traditional roles have left women unable to get out of abusive situations, and I'm not fully okay being fully dependent. I have seen things happen. It would be wonderful to have traditional roles. But back then, it was based on economic need and other aspects.
@forcefulBirch2526 I appreciate that you think this works for everyone; most of the gender-based issues we have today are are from role pressures and forced non-scientific descriptors. Female = XX, it does not cancel out the moment you refuse to fit into the societally-constructed box. Preferences are individual and should never be pushed onto others as this can cause more harm than good. May I share some book titles and neurological studies on the concept of femaleness and gender; "femininity" does not exist.
Hi! I can't understand from your view on relationships how a man and a woman can simultaneously show their emotions. After all, every stressful situation gives emotions. Let's say you were late for a flight, the man shows his emotions, the woman hers. And what will come of it.

I am afraid there are some forces in this world that benefit from people being divided: family bounds broken, parents having no touch with their children, women hating, disregarding and not needing men (or vice versa), "social" media strongly supporting anti-social behaviours, mass media soaking idiocracy into our minds, people spending time in front of their screen, with no contact with each other... Why it is so? I think it's some kind of social engineering. People divided, humanity fragmented (see Orwell's "1984") are much easier to control.
As for the traditional roles, I try to find my way somewhere in the middle: the world changed, the roles changed, women and men have learnt a lot from one another.
For example, how men could still "provide" while the job market is dominated by working women, who often earn more than their male counterparts?
On the other hand, I am really proud of men who take "maternity leaves" to take care of their new born child, and the traditional roles are reversed.
I think it is good to be open and flexible, but having a strong backbone (I mean not being an extremist of any kind, but believing in values).
It has been always a dream of Sci-Fi writers: a society where people of all races, ethnicities or genders are equal - but with no dystopian scenario, when our children are raised in a lab by computers.
