On the other hand, conflict theorists disagreed that families were just agreeing and there were no issues with the breadwinner- homemaker style. They see families as opposition and conflict. They focused on the competing interest of family members to understand families. Randall Collins, a leading writer in the field, expressed that men use their power to gain control over the family. Conflict theorists tied Marx's theory of capitalism in the understanding of families. They argued that the work women, as the homemakers, were doing for many years without pay such as cleaning, cooking, raising children, and etc is the reason women get paid less.  In turn, men maintain their domination as the breadwinner within the family because they get paid more due to them not having to do the many things women have done without pay. So rather then seeing different roles of men and women as harmonious and functional, conflict theorists see them as part of the unstable governmental system that do not want or look for change.
