God created man and women to be different. They have different roles. This much is obvious. So why when I say this am I accused of being sexist?

Because it is sexist. It all comes down to how you view sexism if you think the opinion of these people matters that much then change your view if not then keep your views. sexism aint a bad thing, prejudice is. there are many differences between sexes its how you address them that makes the difference on how people will view your views.

Yep, men and women are different. That's clear, just by looking at us. It's not sexist to say so. I'd like to see anyone back up the opposite.
What is sexist is to say that women are less able, are deserving of fewer rights, cannot make decisions for themselves, are inappropriate for some roles, and must remain in the roles that have been traditionally assigned to them. Sexism is saying that one sex or the other (most often women, but not always) is inferior to the other and should be repressed, coddled, caged, or limited.

1- prove that god created man and women
2- prove that god's intent was for them to have different social roles
Until you can do either, you have no argument.
There is a point in what you say, obviously for good reason certain aspects of those differences should be respected but there is a far cry from respecting gender differences and using them to manipulate or subjugate people.
EDIT: why is it always the stupid that are intimidated by intelligent women?

Its not your fault, it is the God you choose to worship.
Your holy scripture shows you how to behave and act towards women. So, instead of getting mad at people who point out your sexist remarks, maybe you should consider whether your God is sexist and make some changes to your belief.

Well...because that is what sexism is...acknowledging the differences between genders....unfortunately, assuming that these differences force you into specific roles and thus limit your choices based only on gender is a common extension of this idea, and is just presumptious and wrong.

EQUAL but different.
The race cannot survive without both. They are different (viva la difference)... those differences should be utilized so that a couple is stronger together than separate, with each person compensating for the weaknesses of the other; NOT with one person claiming than the other is just a servant!

The only definite and totally separate roles that exist between men and women is reproduction.
In all other aspects of life we are equal.

Because you are pushing your own beliefs about the roles of women. Not ALL cultures believe what you do and you sound like a sexist pig.
We live in a world where woman have a CHOICE.

Because it's not men's role to subjugate women. If you claim it is, then you're a sexist.

Once again, your book was written by misogynistic ignorant sheep herders.
A woman is not a man's slave, men and women are equal.
