A man cannot incubate a baby, and there is a limit to how much the average woman can lift over her head with her arms (but using her legs she may be able to lift more than a man of similar body weight). That's it. Everything else is up for grabs, IMO, and no one should be obligated to play a role that he or she does not want.
I disagree on this one; having a list of biological differences between human male and human females; such as pregnancy, these differences led to a very different evolution for both genders.
We share many things because we are the same creature in terms of specie. The Quran cites many verses about this:
Quote:Sura 3, The Quran:
( 195 ) And their Lord responded to them, "Never will I allow to be lost the work of [any] worker among you, whether male or female; you are of one another. So those who emigrated or were evicted from their homes or were harmed in My cause or fought or were killed - I will surely remove from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allah, and Allah has with Him the best reward."
We are of one another; but each has different traits. Physically at least; and the physical does affect the psychological to great degrees.
Quote:Sura 4, The Quran:
( 1 ) O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer.
We are of the same origin; I think the "one original soul" combine both genetics of a male and a female? IDK but the complete human is that one original soul; we are nothing but the spawn of that soul, that God created its mate from it, and went on to disperse lots of males and females. Our specie.
I think our origin as humans differs a lot from the sexist Biblical image that was drawn with respect to ignorance as a key.
