Man is the wandering hunter and gatherer, while Woman is the stay-at-home caretaker, homemaker, child bearer and rearer, nutritionist, cleaner, cook, et al.

An anomaly? Surely!
Unjust and wrong? Certainly!!
This has been the "system" ever since homo sapiens settled down in sheltered dwellings. Women going out to work were an exception.
