I wouldn't even concede that point concerning sex roles. Roles are so consistent across cultures, polarisation only increasing as equality increases, it seems reasonable to claim that biology is by far the biggest factor.

Where we go see shifts towards homogenisation of sex roles tends to be as a result of technology (e.g. birth control, weapons, mechanisation).

By roles I would mean things like wearing dresses or trousers not instinctive behaviour like fighting or caring.

Ah, fully agree there. Thanks.
