How has gender determined human potential over time? What has changed/evolved?

Gender has determined human potential in two prominent ways.

1). Woman have wombs and give birth to the next generation.

2). Men have higher physical strength and are the utility for civilization.

The preceding has NOT changed and never can as they are biological determinants. The only thing that has really changed is that women have accepted the social engineering experiment known as Feminism, and therefore have willingly entered the workforce where they have previously been exempted from participating. This 'choice' to work has now become a necessity for most by design, and as far as we can see in the future, women must now work to their capacity to fulfil #2 as well as fulfil #1 and continue to produce the next generation.

Ye shall now work whether you want to or not!
