How does this correlate with validation of the social construct gender binary?
Do you have any basis for the belief that I am justifying this? If you knew me in person you would know that this is nonsense. I think you are over simplifying things and jumping to conclusions. As for the original quotation, it would be fairly easy to research Cherokee culture and decide for yourself how balanced the genders were.
You certainly have a valid point in saying that the quotation itself may be conducive to an overly simplistic application of gender roles; but background information would probably point in a different direction for what the reality was in their particular culture.
