On a side note, in traditional designation of gender roles in many cultures the women handle the family money, or do the sales (for example the man does the harvest and the women does the sale at the market). Which I think could be leveraged when it's time to break the mold.

Traditional gender roles has been exploited in education in some part of the world for example.
