Wall Street Mothers, Stay-Home Fathers (SSR)

Wall Street Mothers, Stay-Home Fathers is an article of New York Times that exposes how America is changing into a whole new different world where the roles of women and men are being questioned. People are so use to seeing the women being the ones at home taking care of the kids and the house. Which is the roles that society has implemented for women ever since the beginning of time and the men are the ones who bring in the money. Now America is taking a new approach that allows women to decide what they want to do and what can benefit the family as a whole. Men are accepting women's position and decision to freely achieve their dreams in today's world. This causes a shift in the roles that women and men are so use to taking; thus, enabling women and men to live in each others' shoes.
