      OK, more extreme social conservatives making false comparisons between men & women's 'natural roles.' Lets sort this out.

      If women's 'natural roles' are raising children & cooking & taking care of homes, men's are hunting & fighting & building things.

      If this is what you want to do, fine. Find someone else who wants to, go do that. Try not to die in childbirth or fighting over a cow.

      If, on the other hand, you accept that men can do things other than hunting, fighting & building things with their bare hands - eg computing

          Then it should be quite clear that women can also do things other than raising children, cooking & cleaning a house - eg medicine.

          None of this - 'It's my natural role to develop software & women's to have lots of babies."

          And stop pretending the only alternative to this is blank-slatist insistence that men & women are exactly the same & make same choices.

          We are different on average coz we evolved with different pressures. Society evolved too to produce opportunities for the full spectrum.

          The 'public sphere' has not been a battle or hunting ground for some time. It's had things like hospitals & schools for thousands of years.

          The 'public sphere' now includes many important roles which draw on abilities & interests women have to a greater degree than men.
