Deep dives
The Impact of Industrialization on Gender Roles
Industrialization shifted men's work out of the home and into offices and factories, causing a radical change in their character and role in society. Before industrialization, men worked alongside their wives and children on family farms and businesses, fostering a sense of caretaking responsibility for the family. The Industrial Revolution disrupted this dynamic, as men began working as individuals in competitive settings. This shift led to a decline in qualities traditionally associated with masculinity, such as interdependence and care. Understanding the historical context of industrialization is crucial in addressing the battle of the sexes and finding solutions to reconnect men with their caregiving roles.
