The fact that this has been the chosen order since time immemorial and across continents and civilizations confirms that it is the natural order. Any change would involve reversal of roles. Any society which will attempt that reversal will find out soon enough that it causes itself many more problems than it can cope with. If we look at life on earth and in the universe, we soon come to the conclusion that there is hardly any redundancy in the system of creation. Every creature and every species has a different role to play.
None is created in vain.
No two species have exactly the same qualities or tasks. Moreover, in every species the female plays a different role to that of the male. The two roles are usually complementary. All creations have accepted this system and abided by it. None tries to break its smooth, natural working.
