this is something i think many human cultures need to get over, the idea of behavioral expectations based on gender.
all of us are different from each other, regardless of gender. that's not an attitude, that's a logical fact.

I see female workers at Amazon just rocking it. Inspirational!

If I approached my work with that attitude I would be casted out. It's generally easier for men to do things like bring a heavy box down a tall ladder. When less capable people do those tasks they are more likely to get hurt. It's a lot less trouble for me to do it and help out. Maybe that person helps you out with other things they are more capable of doing?

I've met lot of people that started out sweeping floors and retired relatively wealthy because they found excuses to take on the hard work instead of reasons to get out of it.

It is always good when people work as a team, using each others mental and physical strengths in balance.
Once that ethos is established, most bosses are more than happy.
I had a situation once, when one of my engineers had the choice of arriving to work 5 or 10 minutes late or catching trains that would involve leaving home 90 minutes earlier. Knowing that he had a 40 minute wait for his train home, I happily agreed for him to arrive a bit late in exchange for him locking the building up after work. It was a win win situation.
