Throughout human history, communities have typically gendered their tasks, but the specific tasks and how they are gendered has varied over time and place. For example, in some societies, women were primarily responsible for agriculture while men hunted, while in others, men and women both participated in both activities but had different roles within them. Gender roles and expectations have changed and evolved over time. Therefore, it can be concluded that historically, there were both gendered tasks and roles, but they were not always the same or consistent across different societies.
