is it getting women's dominant society?

In the last blog, I talked about women's change which means women are getting more opportunities in society. Yes, this might be true in many places in the world because many women started to get higher position at work or even run business. According to the Toyo Economy Inc Japan, many women in the world became president of the big companies in 2010 compare to 10 years ago. For instance, 44% of women occupy presidents in big companies in Norway, and 15.2% in the US.

So now, what men have to do? Are they still in the same situation which they used to be? Do they still keep to work and say 'women should be at home and do house work.'?

My mother called me this morning and said one of her men coworkers will take paid off for baby time. Yes, this means not only us, but also society knows that women and men's change such as more women have better job. Therefore, 'paid off for baby system' for men would probably mean 'gender norm's change' which means men or fathers have to take care of their children more than they used to do instead of women or mothers.

Moreover, I heard from one of my friends that her mother earns more than her father since her mother is a CEO of a big company. We can tell gender norms are getting different from several years ago. We are not in a period of typical and traditional gender norms. According to the article 'The End of Men', in 1970, women contributed 2 to 6 percent of the family in come which is few. Now, however, women contribute 42.2 percent of the family in come. Moreover, four in ten mothers are the primary breadwinners in their families.

Women's opportunities in society has changed which means change of men's role in society at the same time. We are in a generation more men are taking care of their children instead of working. The gender role we used to have is changing.
