Assuming that both of the persons involved are heterosexual, and that coercion and/or rape is not involved, Yes: male heterosexuals tend to be attracted to [certain] females, and female heterosexuals tend to to be attracted to [certain] males.
Males (taken as an entirety) do tend to have more upper body strength than females (although women have been doing "men's work," whether it be construction, or military fighting, etc., going back thousands of years). When females have the luxury of being able to devote themselves to "home duties," often they have done so--maybe not entirely, since planting and harvesting and making bricks still needed to be done--but yeah, if the environment is fruitful enough, and there is plenty of water available, and if some kind of relative peace abounds at that particular time, women are able to more devote themselves to "home duties" than would otherwise be the case.
In more recent centuries (certainly, in the USA, from American slave times on), women have gradually gained more equal rights with men as they have proven themselves equal in (for example) military duties, or flying (or constructing!) airplanes, etc.
I know that in Israel, where there is a nearly universal military service requirement (the ultra-Orthodox have some limited alternatives available to them because of Israeli politics), I have personally seen and interacted with former, or presently serving, women military troops, and you DO NOT MESS with the, often extremely stunningly attractive, 18-year-old female who, in certain situations, is basically in charge of whether YOU are going to continue living or you will die.
If you are interested in gender differences in stereotypically "masculine" positions, study the Israeli military and security services.
You will quickly come to an enormous appreciation of what women in "masculine" positions can do, and DO do, every moment of every day.

EDITED TO ADD: Some time ago (probably many decades ago, but I do not know the actual time period for a fact) the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) discovered that many people on the autism spectrum make SUPERB analyzers of raw intelligence data (surveillance photos, etc.)--and their natural abilities often FAR exceeded what people NOT on the spectrum are usually able to do. As a result: If you are growing up in Israel, and you are on the autism spectrum, the chances are excellent that you will find yourself serving in one or another of the intelligence agencies when it comes time to do your IDF stint.
