So I know that in most Western societies that gender roles and gender expectations have been mostly "evened out" so to speak and that women and men are much more equal in many respects. However, many societies still have certain unspoke (and in some case spoke) gender roles that women and men are expected to fill roles. I'm thinking Middle Eastern countries specifically, where the role of women is often thought of as less than that of men. Culture and religion are the primary reasons for this structuring of gender, and it makes me wonder if this means that gender roles and expectations can ever be completely eliminated from these places?
