IIRC the invention of agriculture caused a huge shift in cultural dynamics as regards sex and gender world wide, favoring men. It is not unreasonable to think that an age that lasted 10kyrs might have some lingering affects on how we view the world.
- danielvaughn 4y agoThe pink/blue thing is low hanging fruit because it’s (at least apparently) obvious that we don’t have any biological predisposition towards sex-based color choices. Also, I’m not aware of any culture that’s free from western influence that has similar color norms. But most other norms are more complicated. So the idea of the man as a physically strong provider - it’s not universal but it’s extremely common across the world.
