Conjugal roles have changed and are now seen to be equal.
Elizabeth Bott Describes two types of conjugal roles.
Segregated conjugal roles // Close-knit Joint conjugal roles // loose-knit
Wilmott and Young Two studies
1. 1950s segregated roles - working class. Men - breadwinners Women - Full-time housewives 2. 1975 CHANGE!! More towards joint conjugal roles + symmetrical family "72% husbands did housework"
Feminists disagree
1.The family is a source of inequality
2. Poorly conducted study. One question asked Does your husband help out atleast once a week with any household chores" This could include husband making himself a cup of tea.
