This is actually pretty spot on, apart from the reproductive element. From infancy, people are forced in to pretty narrow boxes based on all sorts of factors during socialization, gender being one of the biggest. Children should not be separated by gender in the way they are socialized, and should instead be allowed and encouraged to pursue their own identity. If a girl shows interest in pink, Barbie dolls, and a future in home making, that is great, but it should not be foisted upon her.

And prohibitive socialization does not just impact women. Gender roles are increasingly forcing men into lower paying, less influential jobs as they are considered more masculine.
