I also believe that a good deal of the gender roles and values come from nature. The easiest example is the male getting praised for lots of partners while the girls are shamed for it. In nature males have the job as creating as many off spring as they can. Off spring that are like them. In nature males always think they are better than the other males until they lose to them in some sort of competition. As advanced as we are....I think a lot of this remains in us. In our minds, its kind of natural for males to think that "women shouldnt have any babies except for mine". Not that we actively think it, just that the idea of a girl you're interested in being involved with another man almost always gets under your skin some how. Especially when that person is very different from you. I believe thats where a lot of the double standards for sex come from.
