Societal expectations of gender roles in relationships when it comes to financial responsibility
Speaking to a lay counsellor and emotional support expert, Astrid Diaries told the publication that although society has evolved in how it views gender roles, people still experience "gender stereotypes," which she explains are deeply "rooted in traditional beliefs that men should be providers while women are expected to be nurturers."
Astrid went on to say the following:
"With increasing economic pressures globally, men and women are now required to contribute equally to household responsibilities and expenses. Additionally, women are more career-driven than in the past, further challenging these outdated norms."
"As society evolves, the dynamics between men and women are shifting. Men are becoming more open about their feelings and the pressures they face as providers, while women are stepping into roles that involve both support and provision. This shift reflects a broader acceptance of shared responsibilities and a move toward a more balanced understanding of gender roles in modern life," she added.
