Like many places around the world, the gender roles in Australia have blurred somewhat over the years. Generally, women are still the 'nurturers' and men the 'providers' and co exist in a 'traditional' way. Within living history (certainly my life time), on top of mainstream subjects; girls and boys learned a couple of different subjects in Secondary School. Boys did metal work and wood work, girls did home economics. This was thought to assist the future adults in their seperate roles where men would go work and be the bread winner, women would stay at home and be the home maker. Obviously not everyone followed these roles. Many women went off to find careers and had no interest in 'home' or 'family'. There were many professions that women could not join and others where women could not join until they attained an age older than that of their male counterparts. It was believed by some that once a woman had passed the age of 20 or more, she was unlikely to start a family. The thinking at the time was 'why train someone for two or three years at a cost to the employer only to have that person leave to start a family. There was some merit to this arguement as the employer was put at a huge financial disadvantage. For example; Police Officers are trained over a time frame and at taxpayers' expense to a budget. Should an officer leave within that (or similar) timeframe, the training and cost is lost and a replacement cannot be put it place until the next budget comes around. But there has been a significant shift in gender work roles here in the land of Oz. Women are increasingly found in male dominated jobs (truck drivers, military etc) and men are increasingly found in those areas traditionally held by women (nursing, hospitality). Anti discrimination laws now mean that women can drink at public (main) bars (until the late 1960's women had to drink in the lounge bar). Woman can now serve in combatant roles within the military and in 'beat duties' in the Police (as opposed to 'welfare' positions until 1980). Women now have to wait until 65 (same as men) to received the aged pension (used to be 60 until a few short years ago). However women can still go to 'ladies nights' (free entry to women) at certain nighclubs and bars, more domestic violence assistance exists (counselling, emergency accomodation etc) for women even though men are more often the victims of domestic violence (professional facts and figures). Exemptions under anti discrimination laws are given to women, ethnic and religious groups (but not to caucasian males). I have observed that the upshot of all this is that men are very confused as to what our role now is.
man and women had two roles
Progressive ideas during World War I significantly expanded the roles of women, as they filled positions traditionally held by men who were away fighting. Women took on jobs in factories, transportation, and other sectors critical to the war effort, challenging societal norms about gender roles. This shift not only demonstrated women's capabilities but also laid the groundwork for future movements advocating for women's rights, ultimately contributing to the suffrage movement and the push for gender equality in the workforce.
Many Australians men rushed to join the army and help the motherland (England). most Australians had a fierce loyalty to the empire. When Great Britain called they wasted no tome to come to her aid.
Gender relations over the course of four centuries varied hugely. As a whole, patriarchy held sway as an ideology and women were expected to keep to the home sphere, though some societies like the Vikings had wider ranges of acceptable roles for women.
The Great War significantly transformed English society by leading to a shift in gender roles, as women took on roles traditionally held by men, fostering movements toward gender equality. The war also resulted in a substantial loss of life and the disillusionment of a generation, prompting a questioning of established social norms and values. Additionally, the economic strain and post-war adjustments contributed to social unrest and the rise of labor movements, ultimately reshaping the political landscape of the country.
There are no gender roles because everyone, women and men, are treated equal.

Yes, there is a difference. Gender roles are the behaviors, activities, and expectations society considers appropriate for men and women, while gender representation refers to how men and women are portrayed in media, art, and culture. Gender representation can influence and perpetuate gender roles, but they are distinct concepts.

Segregated conjugal roles refer to when partners have distinct traditional gender roles, with clear divisions of labor based on gender norms. Joint conjugal roles involve partners sharing household responsibilities and decision-making equally, regardless of traditional gender roles.
Both, gender roles will influence gender identity. the expectations that are place on specific genders which will consequently create the stereotypical gender roles will influence an individual's gender identification. So androgynous individuals who identify with both masculine and famine stereotypical behaviors and "roles" will be more flexible in their gender identity.
