Question

*coontz argues that imbalances of situated power within marriages are usually misinterpreted as "cultures" specific to each gender. coontz uses john gray’s bestselling book men are from mars, women are from venus (1992) as an example of this kind of misinterpretation. what are some of the problems in taking gray’s approach to solving marital discord? what does gray’s approach ignore, or leave unexamined?

Answer 1

The problem with using John Gray's approach to resolving marital conflict is that the "Men from Mars, Women are from Venus" (1992) book turns human psychology into stereotypes. The fact that men and women are not fundamentally different was either ignored or underexamined in Gray's approach and methodology.

According to Stephanie Coontz, imbalances of situated power in marriages are frequently mistaken or misinterpreted for "cultures" unique to each gender.

Coontz asserted that traditionalists who disagree with forward-thinking changes and progressive relationships are delusional because the family structure they hold dear is a passing relic.

Unlike Men from Mars, Women are from Venus, Coontz's writings have long asserted that the conventional or traditional nuclear families are frequently oppressive structure for women, that its decline, along with the rising acceptance of divorce, unmarried parenthood, domestic partnership, and LGBTQ unions, has been an empowering influence and must get public support.
