How important is a womans role in culture?

I'm just curious what people think about women's role in cultural development in regards to how aggressive, or maybe how calm and relaxed a society is.

I know personally, in my family, my wife, and even mother added dynamics to the household that I or my father could never provide as men. Qualities such as the ability to be nurturing, supporting and patient. And With that in mind, consider cultures that are more aggressive, corrupt or even hostile, and others that are calm, happy and kind... Does the role that woman play in these two opposing cultures have a direct effect on the way the culture turns out?

Also, does the treatment of women, by men in a particular culture, result in a differing role that women play.

Well...I guess I have the right (with all due respect) to express an opinion and to consider certain women very masculine in a toxic way.

Whereas Melanija Knavs is surely different...it is the kind of woman I identify with.

Sweet, maternal, caring.

Women generally have a higher emotional IQ (which makes them better at nurturing in addition to other things such as leadership), and men overall are more aggressive, with violent offenders in prison often having higher levels of testosterone than the average male. Of course there are overlaps, and it's not a one size fits all, but it is about like how women are generally smaller than men. It's basically how gender dysphoria is a thing, because the brains and bodies of men and women are different.

I'm not sure about aggression, but there are many studies that show society as a whole does better off when women are literate and educated, even better yet when they have reproductive choices and birth control options.

Well, If there was no woman there would be no man :p Because we (men) would starve to death before Men could be able to make kids on their own :oops: So the Woman is the backbone in the family in my opinion.

We are a pair, and were created to be so. Women's role gets diluted at times by insecure men asserting that they are superior to cover their own inferiority. In the later years, it got really awful in Islam. I have seen the same sort of thing in the Mormon Church and in conservative Christian groups. At a church I attended just yonks ago, a woman could not "mount" the pulpit lest a man was with her to cover her sin. :)

OTOH, Genesis 3:16 gets misused to abuse women, and that is sad.

We are all a product of our culture to a certain extent.
I for one reject traditional gender roles because I’m an introvert who is also a tomboy. Screw society.

I guess I'm around the wrong women, Most women I know are conniving, manipulative, egotistical and aggressive. Only when they have a baby and only when that babies young do I find them nurturing, if they don't have PMD.

As to there role in cultural development, they are the main driving force. Everything men do is for the affection of women, so if enough woman want it, it will be done.
