[A Man's Office]

I think I've got a design direction on my game, but I need to brainstorm some material. Help me fill out these two lists, if you please!
First, a list of
Things a Man Does
in Shakespeare's plays. these are things that men do and women DON'T, generally speaking. It's OK if there are exceptions and outliers, but these are things that, if a woman did them, it would be like, WHOA.
I've got:
Serve in the Army
Fight Duels
Pursue a suit
Decide the suit of marriagable daughters
Make decisions for the family
Travel freely
Seize political power
Watch their spouse for infidelity
Instruct their spouse
What else?
And similarly, I need a list of
Things Women Do
. These are things that would be unmanful and scandalous if a man did them, or that they simply wouldn't think to do.
I've got:
Guard their chastity
Offer comfort and sympathy
Raise children
Tend to the injured
Perform domestic duties
Protest an offered suit
Give advice to a spouse
What else?
Peace,
-Joel
PS It's ok if some of these are contentious; in fact they should be! So don't sweat if everyone everywhere would agree with your item; lay em on me!

I think that only women crossdress to do the men's stuff. And not the other way around.
Also, practice law would be a man's work.
