Sex and Gender Role

As I was driving to school this morning, the radio talked about an interview with Rhianna. Rhianna is a R&B artist who has very popular songs. In her interview, she mentioned how she was currently not seeing anyone. She further explained how if she does find a man, she wants a man who is aggressive, who can take charge, and who can play that masculine male role when she comes home from work. She doesn't want to have to care for her man because she always plays this role when she is at work-in the studio.
After hearing this, I thought it was interesting how she in some ways indentified her success as a masculine behavior and role. Because she is a women who makes decisions for her music records and must always be in control of her successful business, she is masculine. Some successful single women describe the reason they are single are because they can't find a man who can handle their success. They feel inferior to the fact that their girlfriend or wife has a more dominant personality thus making the man insecure about his own masculinity.
Despite what Rhianna may believe about sex and gender roles, I feel women who do not want to be set back due to double standards our society contributes to, we are programmed to still say things like this that contradict our beliefs. If women believe they want to be able to be successful and not be labeled as masculine, yet we contiue label ourselves (jokingly or not) as that, then maybe this is why the sex and gender role movement has slowly become implemented nationwide.
