Define women and men's work?
There's women's work, men's work, and work that can be done by either. What's the problem?
Defining such work is like defining inappropriate contentography. A judge once famously said, "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it."

The problem is the unnecessary restrictions imposed on people when these indefinable social boundaries are enforced.

I think most of those restrictions are gone.
Maybe. Some remain. Meanwhile, it doesn't help when people argue for those restrictions.
You're still pigeonholing based on sex and gender roles rather than simple capacity that doesn't need to refer to either even if it might be more common for men or women respectively.There's women's work, men's work, and work that can be done by either. What's the problem?
Pretty sure we have general definitions for inappropriate contentography based on its intent for a general audience, it's subjective whether one individual or another will find it arousing, but that's kind of the general idea one has in mind, it's not nearly that relative and subjective as you characterize it.Defining such work is like defining inappropriate contentography.

Not at all. Much work can be done by either. The question is whether it should be. Why do you think so many working women are fighting for parental leave? What's wrong with daycare centers raising our kids?
There is nothing wrong with day nurseries as long as they are good ones. My two married daughters put their pre-school children in day nurseries, whilst they were working, and there were no problems at all.
I think the younger generation is deeply troubled, partly by dysfunctional family life that offers no sound role models.
You think it's just role models, or even primarily that issue? I think I had good male and female role models to understand in a general sense about men and women, there are other issues that can be more fundamental to dysfunctional family life, like inability to properly communicate things, etc.I think the younger generation is deeply troubled, partly by dysfunctional family life that offers no sound role models.
Family life could be very dysfunctional when I was growing up in the 50s/60s, especially if the male of the species thought women were subservient to them,
