Any candidate, who would deny the fundamentally different roles of men & women, in the continuity of any family, tribe, community, race, nation or species, has a fundamental problem with analyzing reality. The Chivalric code, by which men protect women & children as a moral duty, is not some patriarchal abuse of the fair sex. Nor is it an accident that women have the babies; that men tend to have greater upper body strength; that women tend to focus on the more immediate, men on the longer term.
Traditional sex roles are consistent with biological reality. People who cannot accept them are not examples of virtuous living. Those who seek to legislate against them are not forward thinking idealists, but seriously troubled neurotics.
