Of course, there are exception, and I am not talking about a whole panorama I believe that in civilizated countries we talk about "typical female chores" and an artillery Sargent does not come to our brains.
To be a doctor is not s typically female work, and currently 80-85 of new doctors are girls.
Probably when your parents heard something as "typically masculine chores" we're not thinking in clean the apartment, even your father did it because he thought it was the correct, - me too-.
