Women in recent decades have made significant progress in and in the workplace. But they continue to lag behind men when it comes to wages and to representation in top leadership roles. At the same time, certain groups of men have struggled in the labor force and seen little or no growth in their wages.

About three-in-ten (31%) say most people have neither positive nor negative views of these men.

First, we asked if society is too accepting or not accepting enough of men and women who take on roles typically associated with the other gender. On balance, the public thinks society is not accepting enough of men and women who do this.
