[speaker001:] okay well originally I guess women were um in the house cooking and uh cleaning and all that good stuff
[speaker002:] taking care of children
[speaker001:] oh yeah oh actually the children they they don't have as many children these days
[speaker002:] that's right
[speaker001:] because they've gone out to work and they're um uh well the families of shrinking the divorce rate is up um they're still trying to get the pay that uh the men get um I guess even farther back um they uh used to not even have sports for the women
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh then the women starting wearing the tennis shoes and playing sports and going out to work um
[speaker002:] well I I was thinking too in terms of of in terms of this you know the education is so different I think women are so much better educated now than they used to be and I think that makes a big impact on what women do
[speaker001:] oh sure
[speaker002:] um also I was thinking the the clothing has changed so dramatically uh you know you like when you said with sports I thought well it was so limiting because of their clothes
[speaker001:] um-hum uh-huh
[speaker002:] they weren't allowed to to wear certain things and so then they couldn't participate you know they couldn't participate in sports because of it so um I thought that's that's made a difference uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah well it's kind of ironic they're also these days they're trying they're working their way back into the house
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and they're trying to have the best of both worlds
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and they're just now figuring out in the Nineties that it's not quite working
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] and they can't have both
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so um I guess they'll have to make a choice
[speaker002:] well I think so or spend part of their lives doing one thing and part of their lives doing another you know it
[speaker001:] right they'll just have to allocate that time
[speaker002:] yeah uh because you know because really it isn't that long a period of time that you have to be home with children uh comparatively speaking if you look look through your whole look at your whole life um and I do think there's real value in being in the home uh I do sort of both but um
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] you know it it is it's an interesting topic I the thing that's been hard for me to believe too is that how long how short a time it's been since the women had the vote and that's always been amazing to me
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] that that's been a relatively short period of time and I think that made a major impact on women's roles uh you know from that point on
[speaker001:] um um-hum well I guess the men have definitely figured out that women are as smart
[speaker002:] I
[speaker001:] there's a considerable amount more um there's a considerable more amount of doctors these days than there used to have been and of course you like you said they're more educated
[speaker002:] that's right
[speaker001:] and um uh we've we've uh brought quite a bit to the world
[speaker002:] well and it will be fascinating to see within the next twenty to thirty years how that changes even more I think the impact will be felt more and more as as better educated women come into the work force um and more and more women come into the work force um
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] I you know it it's going to just change things drastically I think
[speaker001:] well some women are actually leaving the husbands home with the kids
[speaker002:] that's right that's right
[speaker001:] and well I don't wanna talk about the husband's changing roles but they're all they're learning to cook now and to do the laundry and uh all of those good things
[speaker002:] well I think that you know that one of the things that may come out of this is to let people do what they're best at you know some people uh may men may stay home with children better than some women may and so whoever
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] you know whoever does which role best I think should do it um
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] if if people can compromise and do that kind of thing
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] that that takes a lot of
[speaker001:] yeah it's no surprise that uh movies like Dances with Wolves have come out in the Nineties
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and their influence uh with the men
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh the changing of roles actually
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] uh that was a very good example of women in the Nineties and what's a real man and a real woman you know they uh they do a little bit of both um the hard labor and uh
[speaker002:] yes
[speaker001:] you know the smart the uh all brawn and no brains on both sides
[speaker002:] that's right that's right well I think that's all I have to say do you have anymore nice talking to you thanks bye-bye
[speaker001:] okay well it was nice talking to you okay thank you bye
