It just struck me that the rise of the modern, independent career girl could create changes in how relationships + families work.

for example, imagine you are a modern independent career girl. you have your own money. you are completely confident in your own financial self-sufficiency for your entire lifetime. In fact, like many guys, you are so confident you are even willing to finance the raising of your own baby. You do not need a husband to help look after the baby financially.

In this circumstance, what happens to the role of a guy? His role as a financial provider is technically no longer needed.

So in a modern society, what is the guys role? Well, given he no longer has the power of providing money in return for conjugal bed rights (ie: regular sex), then all a guy does is really provide the sperm for the baby, and help be the father figur eint he family. That's it. The girl no longer requires him to sleep with her every night unless she wants him to have sex with her every night or something.

Then the girl and guy begins wondering: "Wait a minute. If all Im doing to providing sperm/egg once, and being a father/mother figure, why should we even bother staying attached sexually?" Why cant a girl just have one guy father the child she wants, then she can go off and sleep with any other guys she wants? Why cant the guy think the same thing?

Would you feel society will one day transform into that state?

Where everyone just sleeps with anyone they want. No one stays in one bed with the same person all the time. And everyone just keeps switching whenever they want?

Are you....

a) totally confused like this guy? OR!!!


b) totally understanding like this girl?


and why?
