Gender roles in Islam

In Islam women are suppose to be home makers and caregivers. Thier role is to take care of the kids , take care of the home, and cook food. The wives are to look after thier homes. The men are supposed to support thier wives and do the labor. They are to bring home the money or food for the wife to cook. In Islam the men and women each have a role for thier family. I understand that that is the way that it has been for thier culture for a long time, and that is what they are used to. I on the other hand don't like how each person has a certain role in the family. That defeats any purpose of being or doing something different. I think any man, woman, or child should be able to do what they want and not have a certain role. If they like the ways they are doing things that is fine, buy i don't think it is fair to the others that don't like doing the same thing all the time. Dont be afraid to change things. this was a very good article.
