How different would things be if the gender roles of today existed since the beginning?

[Speedwell]

Now ya getting it.

Maybe we will go "back to the beginning" when neither men nor women wore pants.

 

[Speedwell]

What makes he masculine? Pantsuits?

Being bossy to men in public.

 

[AV1611VET]

ARE women more masculine today than any time in history?

Evidence?

The Bible refers to women as the "weaker vessel," and as such, should be treated that way.

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.

Of course, but the question im asking is if things have really changed, or if it's just perception. What happens in Europe and America is just part of the picture.

 

[Loren T.]

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.

Um, no... biology doesn't change because a woman decides not to be a mom or not to dress like a woman. Or because a sissy boy wears makeup. God's design isn't something we can alter by denying it.

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.

If you don't think farming requires something more then brute strength, you don't know much about farming. Old successful farmers are some of the smartest people, common sense wise, you'll ever meet. As someone who makes his living with his hands, I find that a lot of people who are intellectuals have little common sense in how to do things efficiently.
