You should check out the (excommunicated) Catholic philosopher Ivan Illich’s great book “Gender”. Actually from your beliefs I’m thinking you might already be familiar with him?

Never heard of him, but I'll look for his book!

He was quite a famous figure in the 1970s and was been very influential in a lot of hippie-type circles on both the left and right (e.g. his thoughts in 'Unschooling Society' impacted the early homeschooling movement). He lost influence after the "Gender" book which was seen as taking on feminism. I believe you would find his thinking very congenial and provocative -- here is a link to a thoughtful review of his life and thought from First Things: https://www.firstthings.com/article/2022/02/the-genius-of-ivan-illich

As much as the prevailing winds of “culture” would like to alter it, traditional roles still prevail. They can’t change human nature.

Very true! Though their attempts at homogenized culture is showing some stark results
