Why are you quoting me? Anyway, the problem with your post is that you imply that
all men and
all women act like that, which is false. I am not particularly strong on leadership, protection, provision or control, and I'm sure there's plenty of examples of women who are control-freak protective leaders. Gender equality says it's bad to tell people what they should be doing according to their gender (because that would be illogical), so your reasoning can, at best, be used to explain certain statistical trends (I'm not a psychology graduate so I can't tell if your reasoning is correct). Note that this does
not mean there aren't certain people who end up being forced doing things they don't want because of nitwits around them who enforce their gender roles upon them (e.g. if a woman is not in a leadership position, it
may be because her peers consider leadership to be a masculine trait, not just because her biology prevents her from wanting that; or a man who
has to get married and have kids because of the pressure from his Indian family).
