Psychohistorians have of course also shown that imaginging yourself giving praise to unsatisfied, embittered older women, at a time when previous prosperity has brought to looming proximity, the angry, disapproving, overwhelming Mother, is also a good way to buttress up your "good boy" status, and maybe delay the felt need for a day of reckoning a little while longer. Psychohistorians have of course also shown that the whole patriarchy and violence against women thing, is a bit of a chicken and egg problem, one not so much on the radar of those in a hurry to castigate patriarchy as worse than worse, as violent!, violent!, violent!. (Anybody remember a particular someone who made clear how, as brutal as it was, as based on fear/hatred of women (mothers) as it was, patriarchy was actually a step more civil--less violent--than all is dissolution matriarchy was? And yes, well loved children cannot but be egalitarians, and have no interest in either sex, in anyone, dominating the way.)
