You know I agree with you that it is genetic.

But it is not distributed uniformly and binarily. You yourself are a proof of that - your Y didn't turn you into the model male you disparage. There are, on both sides of the genetic divide, deviations and exceptions, from the small to the extreme.

So Dante has a point that conformity is artificial (and because of that, always cultural, even if at its core lies real biology).

The human race will be better off when females no longer need us and breed us out of existence.

Supposing it happened (which itself you know I doubt, but admittedly is realistically possible), then parthenogenetic females would still re-evolve masculine traits and distribute them unequally among the population. Even for asexual or hermaphrodite species, a non-uniform distribution of hawkish vs doveish traits is most advantageous at the population level.
