I was born in 1970 and I would still say my experience was similar to yours. I recently wrote a piece for my counselling session listing all the instances I can remember of gender norms being reinforced (and my occasional straying from the path) during my childhood. I can’t remember explicit instructions but the expected gender behaviours were clear from an early age.
I’m just coming to terms with this side of me now, I’m just glad it’s easier for young people now
