The men who have sex with women and the women who have sex with men are the only ones who are going to reproduce (ignoring things like artificial insemination or whatever), but that doesn't mean it's their role. Nature/ biology/ whatever doesn't (and can't) give two shits about what you do.
Some here might be interested to note that the most 'gender neutral' time period in terms of role playing, in all of history, was back during pre-Neanderthal times. Yep. Women and men pretty much just shared tasks, for the better of the community. It wasn't until many centuries later than men started dominating women in all areas of society, holding them back from education, voting, and government positions--insisting that they were nothing more than second class citizens only useful in terms of child bearing.
