Again, you're kidding right? That's what you say after reading an entire article about how upsetting it can be to be treated like a child who needs Daddy to take care of her? You think it’s dandy?
Gender roles may have been to some extent good for men (although pretty much all current research indicates that they also harm men in many ways) but they've been extremely marginalizing, dehumanizing and infantilizing to women a lot of the time. Being a bird in a gilded cage is still being a bird in a cage. The fact that you (and guys like you) don't realize or acknowledge that is why we can't have nice things in this country.
And although much of this societal messaging is that males are more competent, independent, and worthy of holding power, strict gender norms hurt boys and men as well. The Global Early Adolescent Study, based at Johns Hopkins University, concludes that due to these gender norms, “they engage in and are the victims of physical violence to a much greater extent than girls; they die more frequently from unintentional injuries, are more prone to substance abuse and suicide; and as adults their life expectancy is shorter than that of women. Such differences are socially not biologically determined.”
Yay gender norms! 🙄
