I disagree with the "enforcing gender roles" statement somewhat, since we need to keep in mind the intended audience is Japanese. Japan is a nation with very strict Gender Roles, and a good way to understand their ideals concerning women is to look at Rize.

Compare how she behaves normally, as opposed to her behavior when she's luring in victims. She pretends to be demure, modest, soft-spoken, but "accidentally" giving a peak before acting surprised. Outspoken, loud women that do what they want or are sexually aggressive are heavily frowned upon.

Itori breaks those social expectations, looking and acting with little concern for social harmony. So her act, in a series which is notably DEVOID of female-centric fanservice, shows her to be someone that doesn't care for social norms.
