Or, to put it in Newspeak “old-fashion gender roles”.
From here:
Young Canadians are carrying around some gender stereotypes that seem more in line with what their parents or grandparents might have thought, a new global study suggests.
The report, released Thursday by the development agency Plan International, found 31 per cent of Canadian boys aged 12 to 17 believe a woman’s most important role is feeding her family and taking care of the home.
That compared to 15 per cent of boys in the United Kingdom, but well short of 73 per cent in India and 68 per cent in Rwanda, who answered the same way.
When the question was asked of Canadian adults, 24 per cent agreed that a woman’s primary role should be in the home.
Almost half — 48 per cent — of the Canadian adolescents polled said men should be responsible for earning an income and providing for their families. Among Canadian adults, 43 per cent felt the same way.

Joan Simalchik, a professor of gender studies at the University of Toronto, also expressed surprise over the results.
“That’s not what we see at universities, and it’s not quite what we see in the real world,” she said of the idea that so many young Canadians are holding out-of-date views on the sexes.
Obviously, the prodigious efforts that schools make at indoctrinating their charges out of “out-of-date views on the sexes” isn’t working too well.
Sometimes I love a backlash.
So a woman professor of “gender studies” (what the heck is that?) at one of the most left wing universities in the Country in socialist Toronto is “surprise” and that this is not what at universities. I think that she is surprised because she is looking at here world (which is most likely limited to the U of T) through her funny coloured glasses of academia. Another prime example of how our so called “places of higher education” are out of touch with the reality that most of us live every day.
