New section: Effect of Gender Identity

As breadwinning has historically been a primary driving force in the male identity. Many women attempt to switch the traditional hierarchical discourse surrounding men by repositioning themselves in the male position, taking on the male aspect of the gender role and determining that their breadwinning career course is a natural drive in any gender (245). This discourse perpetuates the idea that the traditional gender roles are bendable in our social climate. (the new female breadwinner 243).

Global Variations

The ideal of the breadwinning model varies across the globe. In Norway, a country with strong gender equality ideology, the breadwinner model is less prevalent (Nadim 110). Second generation Pakistani immigrants living in Norway experience the affects of this equality and reinforce women’s rights to paid work as opposed to the strict male centric ideologies that generations before them practiced (Nadim 122). In the United Kingdom, women’s rates of employment decline after becoming a mother, and the male breadwinning model is still constant (Boje 380).
