Are there still men that believe in traditional gender roles today?

Why do you subscribe to this role?My examples of traditional gender roles for a man would be making an attempt to be the "breadwinner " for your family, being chivalrous towards women, protecting your family, paying for first dates.
How important are these things to you? Is it just silly old fashioned nonsense. Does gender equality mean the complete abolition of traditional gender roles?

I’m quite in favour of traditional gender roles, as long as it isn’t rigidly set, I.e.both parties can switch and share the roles as suits them. For instance the man may wish to have some role in the home and work part time to do so, and the woman may not want to stay at home full time but may want to do other things alongside raising kids and looking after the home. But overall, the idea of a mostly traditional set up seems like a good way to raise a secure and happy family.
