Young Australian women are embracing traditional gender roles, driven by online movements, new research shows.
Young Australian women in their late teens and early twenties are increasingly supporting traditional gender roles, according to unpublished research comparing 2010 and 2024 data, with no change seen in young men’s views.
The shift reflects growing acceptance of men as providers and women as naturally suited to caregiving and homemaking, linked to online movements like the manosphere and tradwives, which promote gendered roles as fulfilling or protective.
Experts caution that idealizing such roles may increase women’s financial dependence and risk in abusive relationships, despite progress in gender equality.
The findings, not yet peer-reviewed, suggest societal and digital influences are reshaping young women’s attitudes amid broader cultural pressures.
