In my country differences between men and women roles is remarkable. Venezuela is a country where the male chauvinism culture
is predominant, but is a thing that depends on specific areas and states in the
country. For example, in the areas where fieldwork and animal husbandry is the
economic livelihood, tend to be places where the division of labor is observed
between men and women, where men work on the farm and crops and woman are
dedicated only to housework and childcare. However, in the most developed cities, representing the minority, these difference isn’t remarkable. In the five years that I have on work experience,
I’ve worked with bosses and colleagues of both sexes and I think that
professionally, both (women and men), are preparing and developing careers in
an equitable manner. Some examples of these roles’ little differences are medicine,
management, nursing, teaching, engineering, economics, psychology,
architecture, business and administration, politics, bus drivers and police
officers. On the other hand, there are some jobs where men are still priority
for their elaboration, which is a generally thing in the whole country, such
as the presidency and vice-presidency, construction, mechanical, plumbing, aircraft pilots and
carpentry.
Indeed this difference in roles between men and
women has changed over the years and can be seen in several countries around
the world; though, in my country it will take many years to fully equalize all
jobs opportunities.
You made an interesting point about the difference between rural and urban areas. I think the same is true even in Canada. People in large cities tend to have more liberal attitudes about most social issues.

China once also a male chauvinism country. But nowadays, the role has changed. Men and women are at the same status.
