<human>:  I'm writing an article about gender roles. Any advice or data you can provide me?
<bot>: Gender roles are shaped by a mixture of social and cultural influences, historical precedents, and biological factors. In recent years, gender roles have become less rigid, with greater flexibility for individuals to choose roles that best match their abilities and interests. According to a 2018 survey by the Pew Research Center, a majority of Americans say that society has become more accepting of men and women having non-traditional gender roles, such as women working in jobs or careers traditionally held by men, or men taking on a larger share of tasks or duties such as child care or housework. Additionally, over half of survey respondents said that society should continue to make changes to give men and women more equality in the workplace and at home.
