I believe those roles are now reversing or already reversed. Few exceptions exist. Focusing on rebellious teenagers for this discussion and thesis, might not be appropriate. It's best to wait for the rebellion and hormones to subside. The under 30 crowd is a good start for a frank and eye-opening discussion.[/QUOTE]
