How do you know?

The roles are naturally assigned. Men are stronger. Naturally they protect the
women. Woman have the children and have a strong bond with them so naturally they
want to be close to them and raise them.

Women should be protected. If they are given absolute freedom they will be
exploited by men. That is what is happening now and it is what the men want. They
want to be able to have sex with any women and not have to be responsible for the
women or the child... The women want it too. They want to enjoy sex with many men
without worrying about children... But the result is a hellish world. No one is
happy. It is _not_ good.

Most men do want to marry such women and most women want strong "manly" husbands.
It's more than a societal question, it's the natural way of things..

Science is not a very good authority. They know nothing about the soul. Their
ideas carry no weight in this area. Here the authority is the Bhagavad-gita(4.13):


                         dehino 'smin yatha dehe
                           kaumaram yauvanam jara

                         tatha dehantara-praptir
                          dhiras tatra na muhyati


"As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to
old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person ls
not bewildered by such a change."
