I've been toying with viewing it as a storytelling - there's some stories that have been told so many times we know them like it's religious; and there's two big stories that get told a lot, and one is the man story and the other is the woman story
I have a general faith in stories; as in I think they slowly evolve over time to be useful. I think the traditional gender story is still extremely useful, which is why it's still being told so much. Once it stops being useful, it'll fade out.

> the traditional gender story is still extremely useful I thought a major point of feminism was to insist that the traditional gender story *wasn't* useful, that it was actively harming people (both women and men). The claim that it still has use feels conservative to me.

Not that there's anything inherently wrong with holding conservative views! But your position here seems to be commonly held among people that don't identify as conservative, and I find this to be kind of confusing.
