Traditional gender roles aren’t even that traditional. It wasn’t until after the second world war that some western families (still only some) could afford to raise a family on one income. In the 1920s, women, children, and men all worked. And we’re getting back to that now.

So, it does seem like a fair question to ask. If everyone in the family (at least all adults) are fully employed, is it fair that only one of them does the cooking and cleaning? Probably not.

Having said that, most relationships are probably already a lot more equitable than you’d be lead to believe. Husbands and wives do roughly equal amounts of work.

The West is against traditional roles, probably because of feminists. In Asia, people are not against traditional roles.

I think generally it is more difficult to achieve a stable traditional family. Because the man has to make a lot more money. Like more than twice the average. Most men can’t do it. Most women cannot get a man who can do it. So everyone who knows they will never have a traditional family will get angry at the thought because they can’t have it. There is probably more to it than that but it’s all tangential.

It is only the “west”. Not even the whole west. Only the “left” part of the west. You won’t see the same stuff almost anywhere from Poland going east.
