Gender roles have changed over time as men no longer need to be 'strong and aggressive' and women now enjoy working. Explain why gender stereotypes might be hurtful to women if you assume they should be at home.
In the past, society was designed for men to work and women to take care of children, but that is not the case anymore.

It will also reduce the chances of finding a partner!
