Abstract:
Same-gender couples typically appear as examples of complete egalitarianism. However, previous studies indicate that same-gender couples may also involve role specialization. We conducted 24 life history interviews with people in a same-gender relationship, cohabiting for at least one year in Chile, with the aim to explore distributions of housework and childcare and the ways interviewees justify their arrangements. Results show various resignifications and strategies for maintaining fair and mutually satisfactory distributions, despite the ubiquity of specialized roles. Interviewees move away from conventional gender roles and instead appeal to individual preferences, skills, time availability and flexible arrangements to justify their distributions.

Equivalent Couples
Two couples are considered to be equivalent if they produce the same rotational effect on a rigid body. In other words, the two couples have the same magnitude and act in the same direction, causing the same angular displacement or acceleration in the body.

Moment of a Couple: Problem Solving
The moment of a couple is found by multiplying the magnitude of one of the forces by the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the two forces. This creates a twisting force, which can be used to rotate an object. The moment of a couple is used to solve problems...
