I can only think of one instance where women were allowed to be "men." It was somewhere in Eastern Europe, and it was restrictive and developed to allow a family to survive until a male was produced to take over again. Maybe there was something in Indonesia, but I can't remember if it was a recent development...

Otherwise, third genders are dumping grounds for men who aren't masculine enough.
