Drew this, “Lovestruck Woman.” The domestication of man was likely influenced by the preferences of women. The ideal man is tall, masculine, and very social. He fits an archetype (mechanic, hunter, soldier, doctor) which has a unique power dynamic to the woman. The woman establishes her own relation to the man through self reflection (quizzes, horoscopes, Myers Briggs, etc). From this she understands what character she is in the “erotic romance novel.”
When the first cult leaders established the first mass movements, the tribe went from a population of ~150 people to the tens of thousands. Suddenly women had a very wide range of options. They got pickier and pickier, until we got to the dense, urban internet societies that we have today. Now there are way too many options, and women feel distressed. They are not sure if they will ever find their soul mate.
Notice that the background of the drawing is chaotic. This is because a woman is in chaos without a man. A girl does not develop a confident, aggressive temperament, she merely perfects the one that she was born with. Despite her professed independence, she is very confused, and just wants someone to give her directions.
It should also be noted that women don’t have to prove anything to men. Women are already spectacular, just being what they are. A woman who feels the need to “prove” “what’s inside” has simply never been validated for what she already is. She cannot derive power from her essence, and thus she sets out on a goal, she ties her identity up in projects, in her career, her interests, her activism etc etc.
