They're arbitrary. They aren't bad, and they aren't law, they're dictated দ্বারা culture, one hundred percent. In matriarchal cultures, women held the power. Some even fought as soldiers. But the matriarchal cultures, ironically, were আরো focused on, well, আরো cultural and internal pursuits. The patriarchal cultures were আরো warring... and they invaded many of the matriarchal cultures. Which is why that's the way in most places today. But gender roles are entirely dictated দ্বারা the culture in which you're born. There's nothing wrong with that, but it does amuse me when someone tries to link it to science অথবা biology - it's neither, it's sociology. Anthropology. That's all. And then there's this: "In every known human society, the male’s need for achievement can be recognized. Men may cook, অথবা weave অথবা dress পুতুল অথবা hunt hummingbirds, but if such activities are appropriate occupations of men, then the whole society, men and women alike, মতামত them as important. When the same occupations are performed দ্বারা women, they are regarded as less important. In a great number of human societies men’s sureness of their sex role is tied up with their right, অথবা ability, to practice some activity that women are not allowed to practice. Their maleness, in fact, has to be underwritten দ্বারা preventing women from entering some field অথবা performing some feat." - Margaret Mead, a brilliant (female!) anthropologist.
