"THE stereotypical Gender roles"

From whatever I've understood about the human society and its evolution over millennia, here are my two cents.
Long long long time ago, when there was nothing like a man and a woman, there was only a biological male and a biological female, and the human mindset was not as sophisticated as it is today. There is a fair possibility, that in those circumstances, the tasks of day to day life weren't fixed for male and female, but instead, both of them attempted all of the tasks. With time, it was understood, that one group was good at one set of tasks, and the other group, was good at the other set of tasks. When the human society, as it was then, realised this truth of male and female being good at different sets of tasks, those tasks, as a matter of convenience, were fixed for the two. What we today, see as stereotypical mindset or way of thinking, is actually not a blindly developed stereotype, but an outcome of natural evolution process of human society over thousands of years, a journey, gradually covered, inch by inch everyday. Someone rightly said, "Every stereotype, has some element of truth in it." The roles of individuals in an organically growing societies like ours, are the outcome of collective wisdom developed over years. Sometimes it amuses me to see kiddos in their teens trying to challenge institutions like institution of marriage which have evolved and perfected themselves over 5000-10000 years. More amusing is their audacity and confidence in the belief that they are the first ones to challenge it. The entire range of socio-political movements which aim towards challenging these evolved systems, actually have disruption, leading to anarchy, as their primary goal, because the situation of anarchy helps them best, to capture power. Destruction of the concept of roles of man and woman in the society, will lead to slow destruction of institution of marriage, further leading to destruction of the family as the fundamental unit of the society. This atomisation of the society will make it easy for the tyrant governments to control and enslave its citizens because individuals are always weaker unit as compared to a family and are more vulnerable. Any person or organization, which propagates such thought process, is a threat. They are thy enemy.
