In our textbook, Marriage & Family: The Quest for Intimacy by Robert and Jeanette Lauer, there is a quote that reads, "Two researchers found considerable gender stereotyping in their study of the characters in coloring books (Fitzpatrick and McPherson 2010).  Compared to the females, the males were more active, and were mainly depicted as animals, adults, or superheroes.  In contrast, the females were more likely to be shown as children or humans" (pp. 69-70).  People today can get really upset over issues like the ones the Lauer's mention.  I have never gotten too angry over these types of topics.  I strongly believe that men and women are different and that because of their differences, they have different roles and different strengths.  In The Family: A Proclamation to the World, it talks about the different things that men and women should do.  It reads, "By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners."  But, despite our differences, we still need to help each other because two different people can do a task better than one person if the two work together and try to get along.
