Аннотация

The 21st century has seen a dramatic shift in conventional gender roles as a result of changing cultural conventions, legislative changes, and the growth of worldwide feminist and LGBTQ+ movements. This piece examines the evolution of gender expectations in a variety of fields, such as family, school, the workplace, and the media, with an emphasis on the growing visibility and acceptance of different gender identities and manifestations. It analyzes how social media, legislative reforms, and generational attitudes contribute to overcoming entrenched stereotypes and advancing gender equality. The article also discusses persistent issues like gender-based prejudice, wage inequality, and opposition to gender inclusion, despite the obvious advancement. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this work highlights the fluidity of gender roles and the need for ongoing education and advocacy in order to create a more just and inclusive society.
