Status for the West
The old paradigm is that Men gave up their Freedom and personal independence in exchange for a Reliable, agreeable, pleasant, and realistic Sex Partner. Who bore his children, listened to his woes and challenges. Gave him encouragement to face the Wolf or Lion. And cut up the game when he made a kill and dragged it home. She decorated the abode, be it a Castle, Cave, Sod home on the Prairie or Spec home. Men could be grump, unreasonable, and sullen. Men brood and tend to be stoic SOBs.
