"Issues" and "Gender" should only come into play when they make practicalsense.
Gender roles are a luxury that the subsistence farmstead can ill afford. I have delivered babies, I sew, my daughter is teaching me to knit with four needles, I do half the cooking, etc. In our kitchen any one of us can hand off the ladel to any other one and the meal goes on unabated.
In the old logging camps the great brawny bearded men traditionally spent their free time knitting socks.
