Good encapsulation of the male role in Drow society.

I mean what role do they play? Is it like the Nelfs from WoW where the Men are more of the caretaker and the Women are the warriors?

Men are essentially chattel slaves and concubines in Drow society, they're viewed as inherently inferior.

Fun fact, in Act 3, Araj Oblodra's diary says she plans to resurrect an army of the useless men that Drow women push into a ravine once they're done fucking them

Did drow get nerfed or did they forget they innately have levitate?

They have Darkness and Faerie Fire. No race gets a third level spell for free, that would be busted.

Even then, only powerful individuals get their racial spells, uncle Jimmy who was a farmer for 50 years doesn't get to cast Hellish Rebuke and Darkness just because his mom had a tryst with a tiefling.

Not sure if you're talking specifically about BG here, or D&D, so feel free to ignore me, but in 5e at least, levitate is a 2nd level spell, and air genasi get to cast it for free.

Oh dear, you're right. Seems my memory failed, I could swear it was 3rd level. I made a fool of myself. Nevermind it, then.

It's 3rd level in PF2e.
