implies means that evolution would work hand-in-hand with the development of gender roles.

Do you really want to pretend that women don't have breasts in order to feed babies? Okay, of course not.

Do you really want to pretend that men are not stronger and more aggressive in order to defeat competitors for mating reasons? I doubt it. Right?

So what are you saying then?

That physical differences that have evolved over millions of years have no affect on gender roles?

LOL, you go with that!
