Women are still slut-shamed for taking ownership of their sexuality, while men are "top lads" if they sleep around. Men who don't take an interest in football (talking British football here, not American) are still looked at like "WTF happened to you?". We still have men competing with eachother in petty displays of hypermasculinity and women are still constantly judged on their physical appearance.
But yes, delude yourself we're in a post-gender society
And people still kill in the name of Allah. Doesn't mean that we all need to stick with old stupid ideas.
I don't think Yolo is approving those facts, just pointing them out. Gender roles are still prevalent, and I think they will always be in place at one level or another, not because they are fair, but because programming tends to be handed down parent to child.
