Of course. The alternative is difficult. If you don't pigeon-hole people into a doing a particular role, then that means we need to figure that out. We need to evaluate if a particular role is even needed, if it's meaningful, if it's valid to ask for it - of if it's valid for some people to take it anyway. The simplest of cases is "who pays for the first date?" If the answer is "the man does, and the woman coyly accepts" that's easy! But then how do we solve it without gender roles? Split it? What if one is blatantly wealthier than the other? What if one did the asking and the other the accepting? Do you just offer to pay for the wine? ARGH! CHRIST! WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION TO SORT THIS!! And that's just the remarkably simple end of what needs fixed.

Good luck with that, world!
