What role did the men play under Hatshepsut's rule?

Under Hatshepsut's rule, men primarily held positions of power and influence, serving as advisors, military leaders, and administrators. While Hatshepsut herself was a female pharaoh who took on traditionally male roles, she often relied on male officials to manage the state's affairs and maintain the traditional patriarchal framework of Egyptian society. Notably, her chief advisor and possible co-regent, Senenmut, played a significant role in her administration and monumental building projects. Nevertheless, Hatshepsut's reign challenged gender norms by demonstrating that a woman could effectively wield power and lead Egypt.
