This discussion focuses on two potential dangers in our reaction to the problems associated with years of prejudice and constriction in female gender roles, holding women back from exploring and reaching their personal and career goals. One potential danger is that of creating an equally rigid, unitary system of gender roles that leaves equally little flexibility in women's choices by imitating traditional male gender roles. The other potential danger is that of attributing the main cause of psychological problems to social role constriction when greater pathology is at work.
