Sensible mammals keep males separated from the females and their babies. (Elk, big cats, etc). The females and their babies are the CENTER of the culture. Females and males negotiate a couple weeks a year, and the rest of the time, dude mammals get banished to the brush, where they are vulnerable to predation, easily dispensed with and not missed. But humandudes been working this-here-thing long time now. They got it just how they like it. Insanely: Dudes have made dudes the CENTER of the culture. (Even where people are culturally tight-knit, and/or “egalitarian,” eg, Cuba, — males retain THE CENTER). Females and their babies are cast to the periphery, which is often considered “private” (owned, cloaked in silence). They are isolated, usually separated from each other, under house arrest in some cultures, and, unless they are single mothers, are managed one-on-one by a dude. That now some dudes change diapers once in a while in No Way Changes the Dudes at the Center of the Culture/Females and Babies Banished to the Brush set-up here. Whether it’s public housing or private vaults in the city, suburbs or country – females and their babies have been pushed from the CENTER to the outside…

Males as the CENTER – this wacky shit is maintained by inanities such as “Men Do Important Things,” “It’s a Man’s World,” etc. — All Male Reversals. Males are NOT the CENTER (of anything). Males are biologically and in all other ways peripheral. Among mammals, females and their babies, should females chose to have babies, are in and of themselves the CENTER. (How long were males loitering in the brush with hardons, having nothing to do but pick their earwax with a twig, not liking this situation at all, before figuring out how to rig it for the Y? (When a male courts a female, he restores her to her place at the CENTER. But like all cons, it’s a temporary means to an end, ie, winning female self-betrayal)).
