Abstract
"Gender roles" are understood as social practices that relate to gender identity. Academic and popular debate focuses on the functionality of "traditional" gender roles as well as the meanings and implications of changes in gender roles. The concept has been used by feminists to perceive gender as social and identify social problems but its explanatory value has also been challenged.
