My disagreements with you comes from this treatment of culture as an arbitrary ether that exists independently of us. From which we only consume and are affected by. To the contrary, we contribute to culture as much as we consume it. And our contributions to culture come from our psychological traits and tendencies which are often heritable. In other words, I am somebody else's culture.
We form societies because we are biologically social animals. In other words, culture is biological. It is part of our extended phenotype, grounded directly or indirectly on our particular genetic infrastructure. In the absence of our particular genome, culture as we know it, and even society as a whole, ceases to exist. As exemplified by animals that lack culture, or disorders such as autism that affect sociability.
Gender roles emerge in society because gender is something we are hardwired to detect, form, and express. Children look for it; they imitate it. Culture is inseparable from biology.
