Does masculinity and feminity exist? If you do then whatever those words mean to you, use that to answer the hypothetical. People may not agree with what i think is feminine and masculine. But they don't have to as long as they have their own understanding of what those words mean they can answer the question.

I don't know much about evolution, but what I do know is that environment and not just environment but behavior and actions play a role in how a species evolves correct? If this is true why wouldn't women and men 200,000 years from now be different than they are today because women are doing more manly things and men are doing more girly things. I mean certainly this will impact us in a way we may not necessarily want.

If I understand your question, the gender roles of today could not possibly have existed since the beginning. Gender roles have always been based on physical ability.

My grandfather was a farmer who worked a 160 acre farm with a team of mules. That, by itself, would have been impossible for my grandmother to do.

And for a long time trucks did not have power steering. A truck driver actually was working for any turn.

So for most of history any brute could make a living simply on brute strength. If that had not been the case I think the world would be a better place today as far more men would have been forced to think and far more women would have been allowed to think.
