And if we are erasing the gender roles completely, then women should also start fixing faucets, toilets, taking out garbage at night and doing other traditionaly male jobs. So far I have never seen this happen.

The frequency of needing to fix things versus doing routine chores is what makes those roles not comparable. Not that women also can't help fix things, and I'm sure some do.

It’s not comparable in terms of hours spent. But could be comparable in effort spent.
You can’t trade 1 hour of McDonalds employee for 1 hour of car mechanic, for example. It’s not a fair trade. (And I’m not saying here that these are women’s and men’s roles. Just providing an example.)
