For thirty years, researchers study

For thirty years, researchers studying the changes in family dynamics since the rise of the women's movement have concluded that, despite gains in the world of education, work, and politics, women face a "stalled revolution" at home. According to many studies, men's family work has barely budged in response to women's increased employment. The typical punch line of many news stories has been that even though women are working longer hours on the job and cutting back their own housework, men are not picking up the slack.

Our research suggests that these studies were based on unrealistic hopes for instant transformation. They underestimated the amount of change going on behind the scenes and the growing willingness of men to adapt to their wives' new behaviors and values. In fact, more couples are sharing family tasks than ever before, and the movement toward sharing has been especially significant full-time dual-earner couples.

Most previous literature on the division of family work began with the naive assumption that the massive gender rearrangements that began in the late 1960s would, unlike any other major social transformation in history, have instantaneous results. Researchers therefore did not take a sufficiently long view of change over time. Our ongoing studies of couple relationships reveal instead that change has been continuous and significant, not merely in younger couples who begin their relationship with more flexible ideas about gender, but also in older couples where the wife has worked long enough to change her husband's values and behaviors (Sullivan 2006). We believe that the transformation of marriage that has occurred in the comparatively short period of 40 years is too great a break from the past to be dismissed as a slow and grudging evolution that has not fundamentally changed family dynamics. Men and women may not be fully equal yet, but the rules of the game have been profoundly and irreversibly changed

Ba mươi năm, các nhà nghiên cứu học tập những thay đổi trong gia đình dynamics kể từ khi sự nổi lên của phong trào của phụ nữ đã kết luận rằng, mặc dù lợi nhuận trong thế giới của giáo dục, công việc, và chính trị, phụ nữ đối mặt với một "cách mạng bị đình trệ" ở nhà. Theo các nghiên cứu nhiều, công việc gia đình của người đàn ông hầu như không có budged để đáp ứng với việc làm tăng của phụ nữ. Dòng punch điển hình của rất nhiều tin tức câu chuyện đã là rằng mặc dù phụ nữ đang làm việc dài giờ trong công việc và cắt giảm việc nhà riêng của họ, người đàn ông không chọn lên slack. Nghiên cứu của chúng tôi cho thấy rằng các nghiên cứu dựa trên các hy vọng không thực tế cho chuyển đổi ngay lập tức. Họ đánh giá thấp lượng thay đổi xảy ra đằng sau hậu trường và sẵn sàng ngày càng tăng của người đàn ông thích ứng với vợ mình hành vi mới và giá trị.
