Gender Norms Etiquette in Australia

Australia is generally relaxed and egalitarian about gender roles, so men and women mix freely in work, social life, and public spaces, and it is normal to address people directly and treat everyone with the same level of informality. Traditional expectations are still more visible in some older or rural settings, but in most cities overtly sexist comments, assumptions about who should lead or pay, or jokes about gender are likely to be frowned on.
