Sexism makes women and men into objects

While «real men» talk about sports, car racing and their jobs, female «best friends» exchange cosmetic tips and cooking recipes. Men are the breadwinner in the family; women are responsible for the household and taking care of the children. But what if women are not interested in cosmetics; what if they wish to run a joiner's workshop; what if men enjoy housework and taking care of the children? Does that mean that those women and men are «out of step»?
