Wu Yinan/ How far do you agree taht traditional gender roles are a thing of the past?

Traditional roles are a thing of the past because in today's society, women have been given more rights than they had in the past, causing the abolishment of the old stereotypical view of a women's job. Some stereotypes against women may be the lack of education and employment opportunities given for them to compete on an equal footing with men. Currently, there had been an increase in emancipation of women globally, in the form of employment, equal social status, rights and opportunities to education and voting rights. This proves that men are no longer the ones who work as women takes up the post as well. However, some critics may argue that women are still the sole provider for emotional support in a family as they are expected to take care of the children as well as chores even if they work. Rebutting to this point, i argue that traditional roles are a thing of the past although it may seem to prevail in some parts of the world. another evidence to back up my point is that more and more families are hiring foreign domestice workers to act as house keepers and this proves that women may not always be catering to the needs of the family. hence, i believe that traditional gender roles are a thing of the past.
