In mammals, females give birth to live young. This leaves mother, child, and the associated survival of the species in an extremely vulnerable state for months on end. In hunter/gatherer societies this parlous state for women would have prevailed almost indefinitely, within a near continuous pregnancy/weaning cycle. With such high stakes, female needs are perpetually paramount, and the human brain evolved to ensure that their requirements are met. The motivational salience is avoidance of hardship, allowing maintenance of fertility. The required either/or logic patterns are basic, easily achieved by simple on/off switching, dependent on whether ganglia are firing or not. These beginnings utilised dopamine as the main neurotransmitter, the circuitry developed, maintained and amplified by oestrogen. The workings of the left brain hemisphere were born. But, without sending capable emissaries into the outside world, to gain resources, the strategy is doomed. These agents of the female are men on a mission, evolving to develop specifications which are very dimorphic to their female masters, in both body and mind - there's a requirement for increased muscle mass, and brain circuitry which doesn't depolarise, weaken and fail under conditions of sustained stress. Fortunately, androgenic sex hormones take care of these requirements, building skeletomuscular strength, and brains now capable of right-hemisphere processing, having testosterone-dependent adrenergic pathways. These ensure a constant vigilance, an awareness of threats... but, they also facilitate social bonding, forming cooperative teams with potential allies. Over the course of millennia, as men explored their surroundings for food and resources, building teams, societies and civilisations, their specialised activities drove the development of the human brain, an awareness of self and the environment, a true sense of consciousness. On reaching male adolescence, the corpus callosum, the information superhighway between the hemispheres, develops excitatory receptors powered by glutamate, facilitating an outcome of efficient parallel processing. The constant, concurrent utilisation of both left- and right-brain hemispheres in the adult male allowed superlative survival skills, and he could fulfil his role.....Protect, Provide....Procreate.
By contrast, preferential utilisation of the left brain remained adequate for females, whose supreme task of Procreation had changed little. They must attract suitors, by proclaiming their fertility, in a sensuous manner - via the senses. Initially, this is visually... males are very attuned to visual input. After that, touch, and even smell (copulins) will play their part. Oestrogen ensures that girls will display all the physical changes of sexual maturity, usually much earlier than their male peers, to whom they are suddenly manifest as goddesses. First impressions are lasting impressions. She now must grade the interested males, the potential sexual partners whom she has brought within her orbit. And, to do so, oestrogen ensures that she still utilises that same basic, self-serving form of isolated, left-dominant logic. From adolescence onwards, the female corpus callosum is filled with GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, whose main role is to prevent efficient parallel processing, insulating the subject from right-brain concerns, maintaining fertility, and resulting in a morality of self-interest. Even today, women show a 4.5x preference for outcomes which will benefit their own sex. Particularly in the western world, this is increasingly to the detriment of men, the providers and protectors whose role has been rendered redundant through Welfare programs, and employment legislation conferring preferential treatment to women. It has resulted in a lack of 'economically attractive' males available to Gen Z females. Concurrently, men are leery of marriage or commitment in a situation where females are incentivised to the 'cash & prizes' on offer. Since the advent of 'no fault' divorce, women now initiate proceedings in almost 70% of cases - actually approaching 90% if the wife is university educated. Males are threatened, even incarcerated by the State for non-compliance. A flimsy 'Duluth Model' of male power and control drives court decisions.... totally ignoring the fact that sex is the fundamental control element of any relationship, with dominance held by the party LESS desirous of sexual relations.
Have men ever been in a worse position, with their 'toxic' masculinity offensive to the other half of society, who now feel secure without us? This is a civilisation which men built, secured and maintained, introducing laws which enabled women to live their lives in peace. But, now that women have been (sometimes artificially) enabled to make inroads into all walks of life, including law, female self-interest is liable to run amok. Already, Scotland's Chief Prosecutor, a woman, has abolished the 'Not Proven' verdict so unique to that country. She has stated a determination to remove juries from rape trials, which are now to be determined by 'trauma-informed' judges alone. The reason...? Juries are reluctant to convict young men on the basis of flawed or inconclusive evidence, and the Chief Prosecutor has been swayed by 'The Scottish Feminist Judgements Project', who are determined that there should be more 'successful' prosecutions. By this criterion, 'successful' is an automatic assumption of male guilt. Morals, ethics, facts, and due process are abandoned for perceived female benefit. The female brain is a one-sided Parliament, with no Opposition Party to provide checks and controls.
All humans started out as female. Only at 7 weeks gestation will the SRY-gene cause embryonic testicles to form, and testosterone can start us on the journey to becoming male - the emissary of the female. With apologies to Professor Ian MacGilchrist, the Master is always female in mammals. The Emissary has always been in shackles, in thrall to his sex drive, indentured to women for his sexual reward, subsequently held in a fatherhood fiefdom of peonage.... by a Master who doesn't do parallel processing.
