A set of social roles that have developed over a long period of time and have allowed mankind to
prosper into a society that treats people equally. While equality isn't perfect
gender roles have no rationally explainable play in it's
obstruction.
Gender roles, simply said are
nature's most practical answer to efficient sharing of the work load.
Nature doesn't care about feelings,
it doesn't care about what you think is right or wrong.
It only cares for survival, evolution and prosperity.
However, since men love women they have allowed and helped them to
abolish gender roles to a certain degree and certain countries. This has drastically increased the rate of suicide, depression and other mental impairments.
The vast majority of people, without gender roles, are not happy. Some selected individuals stand to benefit from it, that are happy with it.
The moment a goverment can not support this artifical gender-neutral environment anymore and people are on their own, gender roles will be back in full force and people will be happy about it.
Just because people have different responsibilities, different things they are better at than others doesn't mean that they are less important.
Because ten-thousand-something people didn't like gender roles they
forcefully subjected Millions and Millions of people to their pseudo-scientic
ideology.
