Answer 1

Gender expectations

Step-by-step explanation:

Gender expectations is a societal pressure where men are culturally meant to take up roles that are less traditional and when done otherwise can lead to frustration and confusion. It is expected that men should provide financially for their family and not to depend on their wives. In contrast, women are meant to take up traditional roles like taking care of the home, taking care of the children and depend on their husbands.
