    If there is such a thing as a “male role” in our species, it is that of a protector and provider. That means you don’t use your position of power to harm others unless it is to defend those who can’t defend themselves and you don’t use it to hoard more resources for yourself.

      I think the idea of the male role is toxic bullshit. I was raised by a single mother and she did everything including protecting, providing and teaching good values. Women can do that shit just as well as men, gender doesn’t prohibit any of it.
