According to Hawke's essay, the status quo of the way marriage roles worked throughout the early to mid 20th century was because of the way it was in the pioneers days.
Embracing change seems to be so difficult for people. I have been told resisting change is human nature. I see coworkers fight change, often times it seems to me just for the sake of resisting change. It was mentioned that even at an Anti-Slavery Convention, women delegates weren't allowed to speak! So the people who recognized the ridiculousness of slavery still allowed for these sexist acts to occur! That is messed up.
