Sometimes what people think is pro-women actually works against them.
Movies that depict women in STEM are good, but if you project the woman as someone who gets up at 4am in order to cook a five course meal, wake kids, get them ready...all with no help from her husband, it puts pressure on all of us to do the same and that is unfair. Such a hard-working wife implies a useless husband who doesn't share responsibilities. The movie Mission Mangal should not have projected this “Superwoman” trope
Another bad idea is the proposal to pay women for housework. As it is men will not lift a teaspoon in case it constitutes household work. If women get paid, the attitude will be "you are being paid, so get up at 3am and do more work". More of "why isn't the dinner better", why isn't the house cleaner....
The concept to be taught is housework is the responsibility of whoever lives in the house. But I do see a change in this direction amongst the younger men and women.
