It's also the case that having two genders that specialize in different things was adaptive in the ancestral environment and might still be adaptive in the current environment.
Edit: Why is this being downvoted?
Possible, but not obvious. Especially since we'll be able to develop many more differentiated categories than just two, should multiple-specialization prove desirable.
I considered mentioning the caste systems that were prevalent in most societies until the modern era.
I think it's rather less likely that it's still adaptive than that we've adapted to want it even if it no longer offers any sort of fitness advantage outside of sexual selection.
