The solution for people who complain about these things is always to stop showing certain things rather than encourage agency &individuality

If you feel a social pressure that you don't like, don't do it. No, that's not always easy but the alternative is changing everyone else.

I'm talking abt social pressure to do things that must be a choice for other ppl like having babies, wearing make-up, being a feminist.

Someone just asked me what is a person to do if refusing socially conservative gender roles loses her her family? Be sad? Lean on friends?

Unclear what other solution there is. Make your family, community stop being socially conservative? Somehow turn the social pressure round?

The sense of having been wronged by this pressure seems to imply some kind of social adjustment required. Society must share my values more.

In fact, it doesn't have to. It just has to give you the right to live according to them and also make arguments for them.

Then you really need to find like-minded ppl for your social support & cultivate resilience to being exposed to other ideas.

I don't think we do too badly here, really, re: gender roles. There are plenty of role models consistent with traditional & non-conforming.
