There's a huge discrepancy between how harshly we treat men, and how condescendingly we treat women. The theory of evolutionary roles is just propagating sexist stereotypes and should not be given legitimacy.
Yes! This.

1. I try to value all of my skills to some degree, but I admit to being less partial to skills that almost everyone has, versus skills that make me more unique. For instance, I can cook, but so can many other people, and a significant number of those people are better at cooking than I am.
2. Game design, because I've dedicated my livelihood to it.
3. I still continue to express very pleasant surprise when a man demonstrates that he's in touch with his emotions.

1. How nurturing are you?
2. How dominant are you?
3. Do you think we, as a society, have much use for the concept that some people are "typical" and other people are "exceptions"?
