Gender roles and power

In our culture, men have more power then women in both private and public settings. For example, men are the ones who make decisions at home and most men have higher positions than women. I think it is very unfair for women to be treated like this. Maybe some people argues that women suppose to take care of babies and housework, while men should spend more time and energy on doing something more important, such as making decisions. But, do all women just want to spend all their time at home or and do all men want to make decisions?

I think after the women's movements, women and men are treated more equally, plus the society accepts gay people more. Women and men's roles are changing (or shifting)... More men stay home while women go out and work. Maybe 20 years later, taking care of kids and doing housework might be all men's top career options....
