Shaking his head, Beluga ignored him. "A female survived by locking down a man, who became a provider of food, protection, and other resources for her and her child. This is the root of female dependency on males. It also extended past pregnancy to overall life, since women were physically weaker and less capable of acquiring food through hunting and gathering. This issue amplified further if she had to raise weak children. Even in modern times, you still see this male-female dynamic where the man is the breadwinner in a couple..."- Reader81043yrReplied to General_Volkov
I have two words for you M.Biologist: single mothers. They always existed and had been subject to shame, resulting in unsucessful lives for themselves and their children. However, recent history proved that the limitation wasn't natural (or relate to biology) but actually social due to moral order. Single mothers are on the increase and while most of them are actual accidents, there are more and more women who choose to be single mother by choice, more often with high-status and wealth. This is a woman and demograph speaking. Don't mess up intrinsic and extrinsic causality altogether
Beluga nodded. "That's right, the supply of the nut is a crucial element in the formula...but let's elaborate. All a man has to do to reproduce is impregnate a female by having sex with her, possibly only once. Yet, during the time a female is pregnant for 9 months, she can't have any more children. In addition, many females have physical limitations on how many total children they can have in their lives. For men seeking to maximize reproduction, this is a serious bottleneck… Thus, as a result, a man's best strategy for reproduction…is to sleep with as many females as possible!"
