Yes, most certainly true. Does that then mean because it's (pressure and expectations created from sex roles) not as strong as it used to be, it cannot create inequalities in our society?
And if it can what are you arguing about?

You are basically saying "because there is no hard barrier preventing thing X. Thing X is equally achievable to everyone"
What I am saying and what you are arguing against is my statement that societal expectations create soft barriers that make it harder for women to succeed in certain positions.
