In terms of roles, I try to keep it primeval, I play a medieval fantasy save, and it took a bit to break away with social, traditional, cultural constructs and create my own. Otherwise it completely depends on what I was thinking when i made the character.
In my world, it depends on where you're from and there are 5 regions inspired with unique races and cultures, the Capital region is like the “cultural melting pot.” but it's very fluid.
To me it goes back to two simple things Hunter and Gatherer, Protector and Provider, Strength and Wisdom.
People in the West, are born and raised as fighters, athletes, knights, soldiers, gardeners, farmers, florists, and bakers, and for both men and women, I made them probably the most dominant and masculine region out of the entire the kingdom. Meaning women are just as big, strong, physical brutes as the men.
People in the North, it’s tricky, they are of the mythical and magical creatures, where most of them lack in physical strength, they make up with powerful, brilliant, innovative, minds. Men and women in the north I’d say tend to have a good balance in both their masculinity and femininity.
People in the East, it depends on, wealth. Who makes more money, who has more money, who ever can provide financial stability, tends to assume the more masculine role.
People in the south, I’m still constructing this region, I want it to be feminine, I want it to be the opposite of the west region, or unique like the east. Like yeah both men and women are fighters, but more strategic. I'm trying to build the southern culture around a Matriarchal society, where women are in charge.
