The older I get, the more obvious is the degree to which women adapt to circumstances, and men do not. Men are hard-coded by about 15 or 16, even if we don’t mentally complete our maturity until 22, 32, or even 40. We just decrease in energy level from that point onward. Women are not damaged in utero, so they start out with an advantage, and mature by their early teens – at the expense of a more integrated mind, and less ability to escape its multitude of impulses. But to find happiness in acceptance in a cooperative group, women will adapt to all sorts of environments. Which is why they can survive in the workplace so much longer under perishable patterns of production (switching jobs). I am sure to women it frustrates them that the higher regions are so predominantly, if not exclusively male. But that is because we are specialists. Everything we do goes toward narrower set of ends. That is not the case for women. But conversely, for two-thirds of men, modernity is painful because it changes, and they cannot adapt as do women. Civilization is much better for women than for men. Most of us are happy with pickup trucks, guns, some food, some guys to fight, and some friends to fight other guys with. That is our natural state. 🙂 And we have to be trained out of it by the use of substitutes.
