Maybe you’re misreading my post. I’m not making a judgment on whether gendered roles are inferior or superior.

I’m saying that a number of societal taboos that generally prevented women from accessing economic freedom, no longer exist

You will not be shunned for being a spinster

You will not be shunned for divorce

You will not be shamed for failing to have a baby for your husband.

And so on

Short of making these things illegal, we can’t just magically revive long-gone taboos, even if one thinks we should. Consequently, their absence should be assumed. Hence my statement “we need new cultural norms” - a way to encourage the formation of healthy and successful family units without relying on the shame of spinsterism/divorce
