Men and Women

I believe that there are biological differences between men and women, but nothing restricts either sex to a specific set of activities. Men and women have different roles in society because survival in the pre-historic age was largely dependent upon resource and time efficiency. The average male is stronger than the average female, so men were delegated the hunting duties. Meanwhile, women could feed babies and were delegated family duties. Both jobs were vital for survival, but the out-of-home work of men was appreciated more by society. This put men in a power position initially, but times have changed and the divide between what men and women can do exclusively is virtually closed.
