Biology and Gender

I think the association of biology and the entire ideology of gender by which we live is partly, if not entirely, influenced by the predetermined cultures and traditions in a particular society. The fact that women is capable of child-bearing gives them the role of the caregivers and that they should stay at home and take care of the children and family. Men, on the other hand, carry the responsibility of putting food on the table, which means to say, they have to go out of the house and work. Thus, the society views men as the stronger gender because they bring themselves out to the society to seek income for the family. That doesn't happen in all societies, of course. There are some which are embedded in matriarchy; and men in that society do not have significant roles and status. The contrast, then cancels out the gender disparity. The 'gender inequality' argument that resonates across every level in the social hierarchy is therefore based on the notion of the society, and the biology of both genders should not dictate the direction of progress.
