Edward Scissorhands

In the very......interesting film Edward Scissorhands there is a lot of weird events. Events that I didn't realize what they really were until they kept occurring. Which led me to think this was an underlining message. That message being either the fact that they are wrong or at least prevalent, gender roles. The most prime example of this is the fact that all the women in the town are stay-at-home moms and all the men are the ones who go to work and support the family monetarily. Another good example of this is the fact that the men are the cookie cutter personality wise for what a man should be; gruff, not very emotionally in tune, kinda dull, and very sure of themselves. They have little doubt that they are wrong in something. They are the very stereotypical middle aged man. And the women. They are all very curious ABOUT EVERYTHING!!! And they know when something is different and/or wrong. They immediately know that Edward is with Peg. Even before she gets home all the women in the town are noticing something different. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. NO one should notice this much of a tiny change SO quickly. Also I noticed that they made the children the typical teenager. Going out, partying, drinking under age, and always getting in trouble. There is no more of a  stereotypical neighborhood. I think Tim Burton meant this. I don't know what he means by this. If he means this is wrong or if it is just always present I can't decide. What do you think?
