It is just rooted in their mind due to the educational and social impact that women should be in charge of family work (childcare+housework)while men should take responsibility as a breadwinner.

Rather, they are more likely to be made according to male's assumption or guess about how women are thinking (or even how do they want Japanese women to think).
