  1. I think your theory is very pursuasive. I have my own thoughts on the subject that do not contradict yours, but they have a physical basis: Humans are born prematurely because we have large brains. When born, we are incapable of sustaining ourselves, so we are dependent on an adult, which is typically the mother. During pregnancy and while supporting an infant, it is infeasible for the mother to work as a hunter/gatherer. This leads to a division of labour between males and females, and from that physical and mental specialisations develop. Men are stronger and more interested in tools, because tools help a man hunt. Women do not need to develop stength, and they are more interested in taking care of people. Women are more dependent, as are young, old, and sick. And we all know the group cannot continue without women raising the next generation, so there is a sense of entitlement. I base my argument on something phyisical, i.e. that we are born prematurely due to a large brain, because it is undeniable, and we are all subject to physics. But once that is established, I believe your theory picks up nicely because socialism is feminine. It is for the dependents.
