Place of Woman

 He often wonder, what is the difference between a man and a woman, not physically, or emotionally (which also is a form of physicality), but conceptually, from where all these physical differences have emerged. Seen purely from the basic utility point of view, woman is fundamental tool of propagation, more fundamental than man, because she carries the womb. Role of man could be eliminated by asexual reproduction, which is not so rare in nature, and by creating more benign survival environment which does not need physical strength of man (which is in control of nature too!). But, that’s not the route nature took. Perhaps, because the kind of brain capacity humans were endowed with they needed much larger canvass of interplay to put this capacity to proper use ( In inter species struggle.). Thus a larger cast was required with much more significant roles. Hence men were brought into the picture with specific role and responsibilities. But, the place of woman remained central as a primary bearer of life on this planet. Men were programmed for subservience to her. Hierarchy was drawn clearly, for it was not on woman to subdue man but they were naturally made subservient. In same way as a living being is subservient to food. As man may physically control the food but the need always is his, from the food, its never the other way round. The same is true for man and woman. Physical control is a sign of a deeper weakness of one who is trying to control. Where the relationship between two things is symbiotic, the need of control of one by the other is not seen if their mutual needs are in balance. It’s only when the need of one from the other is more and the symbiotic relationship is lopsided in favour of the other, that the one, more needy partner, is made physically stronger to wrest control from the other.
