Those who know me know that I have a different notion of gender roles. I find evo-psych (mostly when it is made "pop" culture appropriate) is intellectually lazy and, frankly, destructive when it tackles gender roles and where they come from. To be able to see beyond proscribed gender roles for yourself is extraordinarily difficult, as it tends to buck the dominant narrative, but it is more than worth the trouble to find new ways of being that are true to who you are, and true to how you will change throughout your life.
Martha McCaughey has written an excellent book about this, and her interview with Em and Lo is excellent.
