As for your last comment, there is absolutely nothing wrong with traditional gender roles. They were, after all, ordained by God Himself.

This statement honestly confuses me because they have changed so many times, including within the history of Christendom (is brewing beer still 'women's work'? Does 'home economics' still cover every aspect of a family’s business and labor profile? There are a lot of historical Christian figures--St Francis and St Joan are the most obvious examples--who would manifestly not meet current conservative Christian litmus tests for gender role conformity). For a religion like Judaism or Islam this makes some degree of sense because the historically congtingent nature of a lot of divine mandates is already hard-baked into the basic premises of the theology, but in Christianity it’s a lot harder to make it coherent.
