It's not just you and me. It's you disagreeing with everyone who studies, writes, or lectures on the subject of cultures. Anthropologists especially you won't find a single one who agrees with you.
You may want to spend a bit if time learning the basics.
Culture - Wikipedia
Everything that happens in America is part of American culture. *Part of.* What happens less is less a part of, or part of a more local culture within. e.g. Bigfoot mythos is a bigger part of Oregon culture than Utah culture, and a small part of American culture.
American culture is an amalgamation of experiences, beliefs and values that happen within the country, including multicultural experience as all cultures everywhere have overlap and are not unique concerning most individual facets of cultural makeup. Something can be a unique part of American culture, but that doesn't mean that things which aren't unique aren't still part of American culture.
Misogyny is not unique to American culture, but it is a large part of it because it's what most women here experience.
Is it an american culture?
So would you agree with my original point, the elimination of Gender roles is a "part of " American culture?
It is an aspect of Ameristanian culture.
Sure, because there are movements within American culture trying to remove gender roles, it's part of American culture. But since gender roles still largely effect more women than no gender roles, it's a larger part of American culture.
The link you provided did nothing to refute the claims I've made.It's not just you and me. It's you disagreeing with everyone who studies, writes, or lectures on the subject of cultures. Anthropologists especially you won't find a single one who agrees with you.

Getting back to the origional point, do you agree the elimination of gender roles is an aspect of American culture?
This is why I stopped talking to them. They wouldn't see the snake if it bit them on the ****.

Affecting only a small portion of the

Yeah. The Romans would be stunned to learn they didn't have much of a culture with as much as they adopted from the Greeks.

That would make it a subculture at that point.
Culture comprises sub-cultures.

Yes, but it becomes important to note it isn't mainstream culture. Such as, there's definitely a nerd culture in America but mainstream American culture doesn't own Magic cards, go LARPing and doesn't know or make the hand sign Live Long and Prosper.
Okay; looks like we only disagree on degree.
How is the English language an aspect of American culture, but getting rid of sexist gender roles not? Please explain.

You went from "getting rid of gender roles" to specifically sexist gender roles in this post. Could you clarify?
As for language, every culture has at least one language and it's universally a primary means if communication and how we pass our culture down amd teach it to the younger members of our culture. And if course even the langauge itself is a part of the culture amd it reflects the culture. German and Germans, for example are both finicky, anally detailed and very according to procedure. English is a testament to the English's historic ties to the French, it's long struggles against the Northmen amd how it colonized the world. With American English adding to that and reinforcing the global lexicon by adopting the words from immigrants who have come from everywhere (and thus America also has arts, foods, and other culture facets that blend the countries where people have come from with already established American culture, like Chinese-American cuisine or African-American music).
I am under the impression that the idea that if you are a woman, you are supposed to do "X" and if you are a man you are to do "Y", these ideas are generally viewed as sexist ideas in American. However if you disagree, perhaps you can provide some examples of Gender roles that are not seen as sexist.
