That's not true at all. One of the most obvious differences is physical strength. Pre-industrialization men were required for "heavy lifting". https://www.redd

  There is a difference between who we are, and what we do. Most people work in jobs that do not require the kind of heavy lifting that depends on a sexual dimorphic advantage. Even in pre-industrial settings... tilling fields, harvesting crops, general farm work can almost entirely be done by men, women, and even children. Yes, there are differences between the average man and the average women physically. Height, muscle mass, etc. but that does not say much about what is a natural role and what is one that is a product of culture. Because we don’t spend, and probably never spent that much of our lives doing very heavy lifting or giving birth.

    Those were just a few examples off the top of my head, there are many more (I’m unaware of any female hunting societies for example, breast feeding is another obvious one...). Why do you think we evolved sexually dimorphic features if not to help us in specialized roles?
