"Femininity" and "Masculinity" are memes that, at various times in various ways, have been useful to the most powerful members of society. The quintessential masculine male is stoic, hard-working, and brave - perfect traits for an underclass of workers and soldiers. The quintessential feminine female has the perfect set of traits to be a further-underclass, a slave-of-slaves who will compliantly serve the men who serve the masters. It all ultimately comes from reproductive strategy.
