No no no no NO!
Evolution does not confer purpose.
And cultural assumptions made off of "evolution" is bollocks.
From a reductionist sense, a man is a bag of sperm meant to facilitate genetic recombination for the construction of another organism. That is the very, very, very stripped down and reduced explanation of a male's unique role.
There is nothing else implied in the above. So nothing can really be drawn, especially in deriving cultural meaning.
Trying to make cultural gender roles from "evolution" is like trying to make a square circle. It is a non-sequitor and based on bad science.
There is nothing you can really extract from the existence of maleness a purpose. Probably because there is not 'purpose' in life other than survive long enough to reproduce...
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
