We must divorce ourselves from the lifestyle advice of our parents in order to aquire Fulfilment.

Eh, listening to my parents served me well. The times I didn't listen to them I don't regret, but in some cases it bit me in the butt short term.

It sounds like you are talking about gender roles more specifically. At least judging by your original post. I do agree that men should learn to cook, women should drive their man around sometimes, and that a man shouldn't necessarily be the sole provider... and it's perfectly ok to have the woman be the breadwinner or at least contribute financially.
