3C. Value of housework:
Oakley- there is no real symmetry in the family, 72% in Willmott snd Young's study said "they helped their partner in some way other than washing up once a week"- which could mean anything so not an example of symmetry
gender roles are a product of social construction, and these roles are not natural but defined and learned through gender socialisation
Secombe- DDL is unpaid and crucial to capitalism- women are like the backstage members in the theatre (the work is unseen but the front show could not go on without it)

Delphy: gender roles leave women exploited for the use of men- e.g. marriage is a way to control women and make them reliant on men
Rutherford: masculinity is changing, the traditional man is under threat due to changing attitudes
two dominant types of man:
- retributive man= tries to maintain traditional masculinity
- New Man= is more emotional and takes his role as a father as the most important
