I don't believe for a second that roles are cultural but given from years of men and women living together and maximizing the strengths that are naturally accepted. What is cultural is how we are taking those traditional roles and redefining them, and my argument would be illogically, to fit our desires vs the best fit. As we venture into the future there will be many more women doing what men traditionally do, but it will be at a cost. Driving a motorhome is simple, and my wife does it. If I die, she will continue on without me. Is it ideal? Not at all. I am the dumb half, but I am also the strong half and the critical thinking half, and the tall half. She is the pretty, smart, short half. Doesn't make us any better than the other, just different. I didn't want a tall, strong, dumb wife; so I am happy with our situation. I am a traditionalist, and so is she. That is why is works. For those women by themselves I applaud you for doing what you love! For those that split it all 50/50, that is awesome. My wife, unfortunately, would get remarried after I die and have her new husband drive the MH. And I am ok with that!
