Gender Roles

There are different expectations on women and men, from what personality traits one should have (so-called masculine ones for men, feminine for women), to what one's goals in life should be, all the way down to what compensation one should expect from one's work. To some extent, most people take up some or all parts of their role.

Two questions. First, are gender roles fundamentally a good thing, or a bad thing? And second, to what extent are these roles created by culture, versus inherent to our physiology?

I know this train of thought can lead into some unstable territory, so try your hardest to remain civil. If what someone writes offends you, try to assume first that any but the grossest sexism is accidental, or simply based on ignorance. As a preemptive measure: I'm not asking which sex is "better".
