This episode contrasts (not conflicts) with an earlier episode in which Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law, “and immediately she arose and served them.” Perhaps the point is simply that there are different things to do at different times.
I wondered, after reading this article, is there any occurrence in the Gospels of a man serving anyone, other than Jesus’s washing the Apostles’ feet at the Last Supper? Perhaps the multiplication of loaves miracles, after which the Apostles distributed the food to the thousands of attendees, and then collected the leftovers.
I doubt that men served unless there were NO women around. The division of labor seems to be fairly clear: when women are around, they serve; when they aren't, men serve.
That's not unusual in this world, I think.
