Social expectations for women often emphasize nurturing, caregiving, and maintaining family roles, alongside ideals of beauty and grace. In contrast, men are typically expected to be providers, assertive, and emotionally stoic. These gender roles can limit personal expression and reinforce stereotypes, though societal norms are evolving to promote greater equality and individual choice. As awareness grows, many challenge these traditional expectations, advocating for a more inclusive understanding of gender roles.

The Mosuo are known for their practice of "walking marriages," where women choose partners without the expectation of traditional marriage.

Wollstonecraft advocated for the inclusion of women in the social contract to promote equality and social progress.
Broadly speaking, the concerns of women must be balanced against the concerns of men. Women have every right to seek and demand social equality with men, but if they want superiority to men, then there will be problems.
That depends on the branch of Judaism. Orthodox Jews keep men and women separated to avoid "inappropriate" relations.
It was not only Protestants and Protestant women who were forces for social change. It was women of every religion, and no religion. They wanted social change because they wanted the same rights as men.
