What is a traditional gender role?

Traditional gendered roles view the man as a pro-creator, a protector, and a provider, and the woman as pretty and polite but not too aggressive, not too outspoken and not too smart.

What is the purpose of gender roles in our society now in the past?

Gender roles are social constructs developed over time and are not based on natural human behavior. This is because gender roles evolved as a way to organize the necessary tasks done in early human society.
