50/50 or 70/30?

11/10/2019

 
From 1919 to 2019, many things have changed in the world! People have become bolder, more outspoken, relaxed (in some areas) and less formal (in other areas). Technology tells us what to do and when, and family dynamics are no longer traditional in the sense of, "the man is the head of the household and the woman is the heart of the household."

But what about relationships? It seems that, whether it's a heterosexual relationship or a same-sex relationship, one of the two takes on a more dominant lead role. It's been said that one person is going to love more and rule more no matter what. That notion hasn't seemed to have changed since 1919...or before! Critics say that it's just natural for the man (or the male-dominant) to take the lead in a relationship. No matter how feminist you are or how progressive the world seems to be, men/male-dominants rule.

So, what does that look like?

That means if the male/male-dominant makes a decision on what dogmas to follow, candidates to vote for, what foods will be eaten for dinner, what clothes will be worn by both parties, or how money is spent, that is what will happen.
Read the blog post above in its entirety and watch the video. Consider what you read and watch, then comment intelligently, academically and with fidelity on this question: Who should take the lead in a relationship and why?

1. INCLUDE: First initial AND last name AND class period.

2. Respond in no more than 10 sentences and no less than five.


3. You MUST respond to at least TWO other posts from any student.

4. Make sure your reply addresses the comment you're replying to. Stay on topic.

5. No identical comments on different posts (i.e., "I agree" or "I disagree"). Such comments will earn you a zero.


CAUTION!! Do NOT embarrass me, yourself, your class, the English department, the school, your family or your upbringing with tasteless, meaningless comments. This is for a grade.

DISCLAIMER: If you do not respond AND comment on TWO others, you will not receive credit for this assignment. It's all or nothing.

WARNING: If you post even one second past midnight, your comment might appear to be posted, but as soon as it is opened to be graded, it will automatically delete.

I think that men will decide everything for you if you’re weak-minded and need that man or if your whole everything Or life revolves around that man and that would cause that man to have a dominant figure. That man will lead and make all decisions vs an independent woman who has her own set of beliefs thoughts & views- she has her own everything; it will be 50/50 and that household would contain shared accounts & investments together everything decided on a mutual agreement

I totally agree because independent women are strong an in relationships everything should be 50/50 because you're a couple . Like for instance if the women does have enuff should always be able to count in her man to help her out

I totally would agree because independent women tend to go get what they want instead of waiting for a man hand and foot.

Only women who are weak minded will let a man Manipulate them into controlling them . That's how man get run over women because they know how to sweet talk into doing everything for them or letting them running everything. Other then a women who is independent to were a man can manipulate her into doing anything because she know her flaws . Especially for the women who go out an work for everything they would never let a man run them we they worked for everything they have

In my opinion the male should be the leader. As a male, were raised to take control of any situation. As a wise human said " Jesus take the wheel" witch clearly Jesus is a male and he's told to take control. We're naturaly dominant since the beginning of our species. Don't get me wrong, some woman can be way more of leader then some males. But male tend to bring more to the table. We're offered better opportunities witch we make decisions to better help our partner. Also males are physically and mentally stronger.

I agree with this comment because men are raised to be the provider and protecter of the household. Yes its true that women can take care of themselves but with a man more would get done.

Yes the male should take control and be more dominant. Then again in some cases the women are more of leader too. And a male will always be physically stronger so i do agree. But i think women would be stronger mentally just in my opinion.

I agree with your statement, however, when it comes to men being mentally stronger i will have to agree to disagree. Both genders build mental strength the same way, however, the process will be totally different. It is scientifically proven that men are stronger than women and there is nothing wrong with that.

Yea of course you would think that because your biased ... Men sometimes are the one who needs financial help or security... and they are very insecure.. females wolves lead a pack maybe that’s how ours should be

In my opinion the man should lead the household. Leading doesnt always mean controling. Him showing that he can lead the way shows the women she could submit to him .And follow in his footsteps to being better . Because if hes leading he should only be leading you to the best.

I think that if a man wants to be labeled as the head of the household then he needs to provide for the household. That dont just means fincially its also means being a leader for the family and a good role model to look up to. Not just because he's the man but this is a big responsibility for whoever play the role. Its not a matter of being in control and thats where alot of men have it all wrong. Its a difference between being in control and being the head.

I agree that if the man wants be the leader he has to have the other attributes too. Not just bringing in the “bacon” but also be mentally prepared to take the role.

In my opinion, i think it depends on the partners mentality in order to decide who should take the lead. What if the man doesn’t know how to budget? How are you going to be financially stable if your blowing your money into the dirt? This is why I believe it should be 50/50 because each partner has an area that they are not good at. What if the husband has a good paying job, but doesn’t know manage his money to pay the bills? This is where partner compromise comes in and the wife can help with the budgeting making sure everything is paid for.

I disagree a female should able to teach her partner how to be a man and take control. It has nothing to do with a mental state. Every man should know it’s always polite to take care and charge of there women. It’s really depends on how you grew up really .

Men are strong minded so they tend to dominate every thing but in a relationship it should be 70/30.Men should be the lead in the relationship because they are known to be the protector and provide of the family.Although some women can do for themselves.Some May argue that women can survive on their own.Men were raised to do most of the work.

L.Johnson

Yes I agree because nobody wants a weak male partner. That’s not good for a healthy relationship. He should always be in charge and take cate of his woman.

Men automatically feel they should lead but in reality times have changed it’s not that time anymore and im glad being under a mans lead is blah!

Man should take the lead . Old-fashioned, maybe, but the concept is timeless. There's something magical about this scenario , Grown-up guy meets quality girl he's really into; he pursues and works to win her love and respect. Why? Because he has to. She doesn't just fall into his arms, or his bed. She expects a whole lot more. And he's up for the challenge.
