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?

Gender roles and wexzual stereoytpes need to end and that end cannot come fast enough! We don't live in a repressive society.

Men who would be content to shackle women to the kitchen , barefoot and pregnant are no more than neanderthals and troglodytes! Women who expect a similar fate for men but with different roles are exactly the same.

We try to empower girls, we try to uplist women, we attempt to get more interested in STEM and careers that challenge them and women love that aspect of empowerment and the freedom it brings. Men should be proud of their sic figure women -not ashamed and expect her to be as june Cleaver.

There is also no shame in a stay at home father. Many are excellent at raising children. A feminine man? Big deal -we have masculine women.

Sexualization, objectifying, shaming, gender and sexual roles all need to end.

@Elandra77 Why do people such as yourself seem to see all traditional gender roles as a bad thing? Equality is good but I don't believe that traditional gender roles promote gender inequality only in the sense that the individuals involved believe that one is better than the other.
I am a woman and a medical Scientist, my mom is as pharmacist, and my grandmother was a registered nurse so women's empowerment yeah we got that down pat. I even had a stay at home dad. And none of the women in my family subscribe to feminism as most people teach it. We are strong ladies but don't believe in the dogma. I would absolutely love for some big strong (mentally) man to say hey I got this and you can stay home if you wish and for that man not to resent my being at home with the children because he thinks that its his job. Thats not inequality, thats winning the husband lotto in my eyes.
