Partners role construction in homosexual households
Kotálová, Markéta ; Pospíšilová, Marie (advisor) ; Marková Volejníčková, Romana (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with construction of partner roles in homosexual households. Cohabitation of heterosexual couples is partly determined by social expectations regarding their gender roles based on different sex. We can also find gender by homosexual individuals, but gender roles based on different sex are missing in homosexual couples. The thesis presents an answer to a question how is the gender division involved in allocation of housework and how are the roles divided if not by gender. The first part presents previous knowledge about same-sex relationships and allocation of housework in homosexual couples. Subsequently it introduces - through analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted with seven homosexual couples - strategies and models of division of roles in same-sex households. Some of these strategies produce inequality of powers in the relationship. The research reveals that the gender dimension is rarely present.
