Isn’t it just evolution that has determined the roles that women play?

Didn’t evolution and natural selection determine the roles that women shouldn’t play?

Our DNA determines how we will react to the enironment. DNA doesn't tell someone how to drive, but it does enable someone to learn how to drive via the environment.
So, DNA is partially responsible for behaviour.

If behaviour isn’t determined by DNA. are you saying that behaviour is learned and is not some thing that women are born with?

And
so then what does determine how women behaviour?

And
is memory encoded in DNA.

Spartacus. Our culture evolves. their is memory in our dna, but its the kind of memory for our hardware it helps our cells organize into a organism and function (like make our heart beat). dna does not contain memories of past lives and does not control our actions, but it does impose limitations. within those limitations we use culture as a sort of software to run our hardware. Some people have better software, some people have better hardware. some people have nether, some have both. Its culture that determined womens role for the most part.

their was a time when women were worshiped as goddess for their power to give berth.

it is evolution that forced the women to give birth, but its our culture that determines how we deal with this power. Jews, Christians, and Muslims have decided to surpass women for this power (it also might be because god is seen as a man). through cultural shifts, some countries gender roles have become more equal.

oh someone mentioned the OT saying how much a women is worth, and someone else responded with a quote from Jesus. well as it turns out Jesus said that all the old testament laws were still valid. so...

I'm saying that our DNA gives us basic instincts (how to swallow, how to blink, how to breath, etc). The rest of our behaviour is a combination of genetics and environmental stimuli. How external stimuli modifies our behaviour is determined by our genetics. Thus, our behaviour is modified by two-parameter steps, one being genetics, one being the stimuli itself.

And
so then what does determine how women behaviour?

Their life up to that point.

And
is memory encoded in DNA.
No.

First of all, it's usually baby girls that are born, not women (lordy that would hurt!). And I wouldn't say they're born with behavior (that's sort of odd phraseology don't you think, my little programming co-ed?), but rather that they are born behaving in a certain way ... usually crying and flailing their little arms and legs.

so then what does determine how women behaviour?
Whether they getting their coffee in the morning times.

is memory encoded in DNA.
Maybe. Maybe not. What do bots remember? Can they feel love? Do they love their programmers?
