Well, we still have blue chores and pink chores in our household, and they do tend to run along more traditional lines. However, we are both capable of doing the chores that the other does and sometimes do switch them out.
I was honestly thankful that my fil passed before mil. He did not know how to run the dishwasher or washing machine/dryer. Mil definitely needed a lot of help from dh after fil died to get up to speed on the household finances and bill-paying. She had no idea how much money they had or where any of it was other than their basic checking account. But, she was certainly capable of doing it and does those things fine now. She is very impatient with any household repair issues/dealing with contractors. So much so that she has had one handyman refuse to come back. Fil always handled that aspect of their home. And, fil always drove everywhere they went.
So, I think there are degrees of how far one takes the blue/pink chores.
