For me, as I see it, the entirety of the traditional male & female roles cannot be replicated now and will not be optimal to do so. Times have changed and so must be along with it.

However, we should focusing on retaining the good and useful things from traditions, and work on enhancing the partnership element. That is key.

Clinging on to the past with wanting strict adherence to over 2000 year old ideas is folly. But completely abandoning all of the past knowledge is also a folly. We need to pave a new positive way forward that benefits all as a species.

There are some re-negotiations that need to be had in this sphere, in process of forging a new way forward. And that cannot happen unless we learn to grow up, be brave and willing to accept the reality.
