Males and Females are not the same thus NOT equal.

The female brain has more lateral wiring between the left and right hemispheres. The female is therefore better at multi-tasking and a fine example of this would be playing the Piano.

The male has more wiring from the front to the back of the brain. The male is therefore better in areas of three dimensional awareness which is ideal for a hunter.

Although there is some argument that these differences may develop as a result of culture, certain aspects of the culture cannot be changed. For example women have babies men do not. The culture of looking after a baby will automatically develop the female brain and will always be present within the culture. The wiring then, looks fixed.

Inequality does not automatically infer superiority (perhaps that's unintuitive). A spanner and a syringe are not the same. We cannot say that the spanner is superior to the syringe, but it might be (unless you're in Cuba).

While inequality does not automatically mean that one of the two is superior to the other it does mean that each has different uses. So, gender roles (sex roles) are indeed an automatic consequence of inequality. Because males and females are not the same there will be some tasks that the female is SUPERIOR at and there will be other tasks where the male will be SUPERIOR. If a female or male tries to do a task better suited to their opposite sex it is likely that the result will be poor and they will look INFERIOR as a result.

To determine whether the male is superior to the female, or the female superior to the male it is necessary to resolve all of the gender roles and then compare the value of these lists both in terms of financial reward and also their impact on society, culture, and future history. A Piano playing female vs a male Civil Engineer for example. The Piano player may indeed earn more money than the Civil Engineer, but during the life of each, while the Piano player may have made more money, the Civil Engineer may have designed and built a City. The City will have more importance than the piano music thus the male in this example would be superior to the female. Proving the case in general would be difficult and changing culture may invalidate the end result.

Females who believe in equality in absolute terms could easily end up looking inferior by focussing on tasks that they are not good at, and the male environment in which this would occur could easily cause broad generalisations of the ineptitude of all females not just those creating the impression.
