Oh, plenty of people! A wide range of possibilities is intimidating for some people. Maybe a fellow wants his work and sportsball games to be unpredictable but wants his woman wearing a cute dress and a pleasant, subserviant smile on her face, and dinner on the table when he gets home. Valium, anyone?
It's an outmoded model but folks are still pushing for it, no? Eg I was shocked when I went to burning man and the VAST majority of folks were still playing out hetero-normative roles. I thought if anywhere, BM--an SF festival would involve tons of gender play. Turns out not so much. Stable narrow roles are comfortable for a LOT of folks.
