I don't think its either realistic or ethical to try to make 'society' embrace a certain understanding of gender or of gender roles.

Whether its socially conservative rigid ones or 'gender is an oppressive cultural construct' ones or anywhere in the middle.

There should'nt be a 'wrongthink' on gender. People ultimately do what suits them &its making that a moral imperative for all is the problem

It's often a self-justification. Eg 'I want to be a stay-at-home mother & also like dominant men so this is how men & women should be.'

Or 'I hate traditional gender roles and would be unhappy living in them so they are morally wrong & oppressive for everyone.'

Ideal to find partners with same preferences & live as you wish Then acknowledge this is what you wish, not what is morally right.

I disagree w idea that feminist ideas dominate society & the ppl facing most social pressure are those who favour conservative gender roles

In the realms of life choices, that is. Much more justification to say this re academia, social justice movements & leftist policy.

Social pressure on men & women around working & parenting still seems to be largely conservative pressure.

With mothers feeling guilty if they work long hours & fathers feeling ashamed if they struggle to provide alone.

But there is only so much you can blame 'societal pressure' for your own feelings if you've been able to make the choice you feel right.
