The question of my topic is ’What are the constraints on men taking up the non-traditional roles at work and in the home?’ In the traditional family, man is the main economic supporter of it, and woman always work part-time or even be housewife without work. However, today some men plays women’s role in the workplace. Some of them even work part-time. In Williams (2004) words, the social opinions towards men in the 4 occupation (nurses, elementary teachers, librarians and social workers) are negative. The ‘outsiders’ think these men are feminine and ‘wimpy’. Men encounter the negative stereotype. As Sheridan (2004) mentioned, men think that the wage of part-time jobs is low, as the breadwinner of the family, they can not accept this. Many of them also cannot accept themselves act as the ‘house husband’ which is considered as women stereotype. In the traditional occupation, if a man is absence because of the family reason, his colleagues will always think he is not focus on their career. Their attitude will be worse towards the men in non-traditional role. In addition, men in the non-traditional roles feel fewer sense of achievement compare with traditional ones. Gerson (2004) described men’s feeling towards domestic work as ‘invisible’ and ‘undervalue’. Unlike the traditional men, there is no salary, promotion or other career achievement for the in-house-fathers to show out. As a result, other people may never notice the effort made by the in-house-fathers to the families. It is also influence their children. For example, if a boy has a stay at home dad, he will be misleaded to accept the uncommon gender stereotype. And he will be confused when he receives the different information from the others, which is not good for their mental health. The reason is nowadays the world is still dominated by men. In people’s opinions, men should be responsible to the major contribution to the family and the organization. Otherwise, they will be considered as ‘aliens’. Another issue is described by Smith (2004) that the ‘househusbands’ are always be ignored by ‘their peer’- the housewives. The housewives think these men are not as ‘professional’ as women. Some women do not believe men will not involve in the housework because man must be the breadwinners.

 

However, the question is not perfect. The non-traditional role of men do not mean there is not positive aspect when men taking up these roles. Williams mentioned that the employers of the women predominant occupation are more willing to hire men than women. And the male employees always receive better treatment. In my opinion, this is because of the mistrust to women. The employers believe the men can do better than women. In addition, the men with non-traditional occupation always have a good relationship with their male supervisors which have the positive influence to their career. And most of the female supervisors accept them with no discrimination as well. What is more, the men’s female colleagues also accept them, even treat them as ‘leader’ among the other workmates. I think the reason is the society is still dominated by men as I mentioned above. Most women think their male colleagues have greater ability to deal with dairy work task and the problem they come across, although sometimes the women have advantages in this occupation. Another phenomena is common in this issue. In a family with a powerful woman, the husband always is a stay at home dad to maintain the family’s balance. In these families, there is certain need to have a house husband play the role as a homemaker, although they have to face the social unacceptance. Otherwise, the family will easy to separate. #p#分页标题#e#
