Unfortunately, any analysis of such roles (essentially,
manufactured gender, including modern unisex) must be local.
Sometimes you can't even extrapolate from one province to a
neighboring one... It is very slippery territory even when
handled objectively. If it is used to tell people how to
live, forget it, it probably has no credibility.
