Whether it was an evolutionary biological development or not, civilization pegged men as expendable. That's not the same thing as disposable (useless), but an expendle asset--even an essential one--isn't seen as needing complexity. We're therefore reluctant to acknowledge any.

Why does the male gender role have generally less flexibility? Feminine men seem more mocked than masculine women, you can name a baby girl 'Max' but it's weird for a baby boy to be "Sarah", women being bi is basically a fun norm while 'bi guys' are stereotyped as gay. Why?

I also like this theory but feel an unknown hesitance around it. The "Moving towards manness is better and away from manness is worse" seems like a good theory, and "survival habits = less flexibility, thrive = more" also seems like good theory. I want them to unite.
