Morals are an emergent phenomena. You can call it magic if you don't understand it, but morals is essentially TCP/IP for humans. It's a bunch of different reactions and rules we have for situations involving other humans and other social network sharers.
Morals determine how we address, communicate, approach, share, talk, listen, back off, avoid, default to another moral gateway such as a parent, priest or book.
Our morals are partly informed by our understanding of ourselves and others. Awareness of self and that others are individuals with feelings to helps inform us on how we should treat each other in a group setting.
=][= As for the idea that men are destructive and not capable of proper parental love, and woman are doves of love. This is confusing ones sex with ones socially assigned gender role.
Nature is quite capable of showing how loving and caring a mother animal is when a human gets between it and its young. If you get between a cow and its newborn calf you will be attacked. Try it with a mother bear and her cubs and its a Darwin Award for you.
As a male parent with children. I look after and love my kids. I took two months off work unpaid to help raise our youngest one this year when she was born to be with her and help my wife. There are house husbands who look after their kids and have wives that work.
Gender roles are little more then traditions that are generally applicable. Not all men are bad cooks or rugged explorers. Not all woman make good mums. Gender roles suffer more from stereotypes as there is a lot of confusion over what is nature or Nuture. Also what we forget is that most people switch roles effortlessly during their day say from husband to commuter, to worker to boss to subordinate to colleague to get fit particapent, to father. Each of these roles will have a varying degree of nature whilst most will have a lot of learned experience.
Gender is not 1:1 with our biological sex.
