The great migration to the suburbs also influences family life and the roles men and women play. The fact that men tend to work in the city is often though to mean that women should care for things at home, an idea reinforced by several popular television series. Reality, however, contradicts this expectation with many married women and women with children working. Their jobs tend to be viewed as secondary work, poorly paid and less valued. Men also receive contradictory messages. They are told to be a hero but still maintain the image of sensitive companion and good father. The 1950s marks the beginning of overt male sexuality centered around magazines like Playboy.
