Over the past decades, gender roles and expectations have changed so much- female and male roles in relationships used to be much more narrowly defined, and now the behaviors and roles that each individual plays in an intimate relationship vary so much more when you look from couple to couple. Do any or all of these theories help explain how female/male behavior varies so much from relationship to relationship? Which theory might be in more favor of the “traditional” gender roles that we used to see more of, and which theories help explain or promote changing gender roles?
