People talk constantly about patriarchy but my experience of the world is that women have equal or greater control in most spheres of life, especially those which are family and home centred. These findings fit very naturally with this, young women bring new strength into the family first by marriage and then child birth. The link to family for a woman is stronger so the man is drawn away, even with all the advantage of the modern world a woman will want her mother at the birth and then her mother and grandmother and sisters close by to raise the child.
