Generations ago gender norms shifted many times including women's labor (for the demographics of women who weren't already working); child labor laws; and women's liberation.

There are still girls who are taught that (1) no man is going to want you if you're too opinionated/mouthy/assertive/smart/career-driven; and/or (2) even if you aren't dumb, play dumb so you can get a boyfriend/husband. Also, women are taught to act like they can't do something so that men can do it for them.
