I find gender roles oppressive for men and women both, this article discusses the correlation between food production methods and gender roles.

Edit: While I think it is constructive to talk about gender tendencies in generalizations (women being nuturers, men being warriors in a very basic oversimplification), we need to allow room in society for both genders to explore both sides of their personalities. I believe all men have a nuturing side and all women have a warrior side and should be allowed to express this positively.

You know, the only real dispute I have with this is all related to Engel's theories, and this article's rather skewed interpretation of them.
