Gender & the built environment q-another hmmmm..

Do you think that society really expects women to be "superwomen"? I guess this question could be based on the idea that the "city" is designed for men & the suburbs designed for women?

Also, do you think it's true that men are uncertain of thier role in society?

I love these two classes & can't wait to go full time next year! Who knows what questions will pop up on te

Before I answer to cc's, bccmcosland- some men do want to/tend to clean in terms of household. My partner is like that. He is a neat person.


Crazycanuck, interesting about city designed for men or suburbs ..well, I've had women I know personally who after moving to the suburbs with their children and hubby found suburbs more isolating. One Tawain woman, from Hong Kong moved with her Canadian born hubby and 2 teen children. They bought a beautiful house in suburbs (Surrey). She likes house but hates driving everywhere. She and her family lived in Hong Kong for several years where she loved having everything close and to bring her children along. Hubby told me...she loves our area where we live downtown.
