I'm arguing you don't need to say it for it to be the case. 

Here's a hypothetical. What if I said women's role is to lead and innovate and men's role was to do dishes and laundry? I haven't said that either is superior but I think we can figure it out without it being stated. 

It is if you think so. What you're essentially trying to say is that choices women typically make are of less value than choices men typically make. Why do they have less value? Because women choose to do so? Did the value of doing the laundry rise when it was a men doing it? 

Women are choosing to be the support role for men less and less often now that they have the ability to not. And men are not choosing to take that role proportionally to how women are changing their roles. I take this to mean that most people view the roles as inequal and the man's role as superior.
