Question Answer
Parsons (Functionalism) There are natural Male/Instrumental/Breadwinner and Female/Expressive/Homemaker roles.
Bott (Functionalism) Separated/Joint Conjugal roles.
Young and Willmott Study of Bethnal Green. Males not involved with home, spent time with male friends; Females full-time housewives, spent time with females/female relatives.
Young and Willmott MARCH OF PROGRESS: long-term trend towards symmetrical, joint conjugal roles, due to social changes, labour-saving devices, better housing, women working, smaller families.
Oakley (Feminism) Disagrees with Y&W's view there is a symmetrical family... Housewife role is primary role for females, but SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED (not found everywhere!) Caused by industrialisation: women excluded from work.
