I'm sure you know this already, but: It's not actually our psychology, or biology, that decides the *social* positions of sexes; it's the regional culture. Further, it's 'socially' incorrect, not 'psychologically' incorrect. It is a widely practiced convention that men in heterosexual relationships fill the role of physical labor, as they are often predisposed to have more muscle mass, and a larger skeletal frame, but the so called "wiring" of the genders is the result of experiences derived from the cultural ethos.
Also, the social "wiring" does not result in a *certain* design for any gender, rather the designs are actually quite diverse, which is why we humans have so many different cultures and sub-cultures.
