If we base it on other primates (which in my biased opinion I think we should) then females are the ones who did more of the early inventing. In non-human apes, it is females who do most of the inventing and spreading of culture. The idea of males wanting to spread their genes far and wide and not caring who they impregnate at all is horse-shit. If that were true, why doesn’t every male donate to sperm banks? Why do so many men remain monogamous?
And females also get survival benefits from mating with many males. Why do you think men are so concerned with paternity certainty? It’s because women can and do fuck one guy and get another to raise her kids.
There are biological differences between the sexes. However, many of the social differences exist on a continuum. You will often find females in the “male” range and males in the “female” range. I’m a tomboy so I seem to naturally ID more with males. The guys who read my stories don’t make many corrections and the corrections they do make are normally to the descriptions of male orgasm.

Well I can see a lot of wishful thinking here but unfortunately without any evidence to back it up
I didn’t want this thread to degenerate into a pissing contest about "we’re better then you ,no your not,yes we are"and so on and on and on as oft times before but I’ll address your points.
Supposing that your claim that in non human primates the females are the originators of any higher level behaviour is indeed a fact(I’m not actually going to bother checking)it is actually irrelevant in this debate about Human attributes.
If female Orangutans behave in a certain way it doesn’t offer any insight of any worth into how Human females are motivated.
So your reasoning is that females went out and discovered clay working,flint knapping,metal working and the wheel etc but having discovered these things immediately stepped backwards and handed over the development of and the crafting of these discoveries to males and showed no further interest in these technologies.
Not only that but for the rest of history the vast majority of scientific and technological discoveries were made by males as a matter of undisputed record.
So what happened to the part of the female brain in evolution that was making, according to you, ground breaking discoveries one moment and then discovering nothing the next?
Using Occams Razor it seems,putting it kindly,unlikely that females were responsible for discoveries made before records were kept how ever much you’d like it to be so.
It would be like being a skilled footballer one week and an uncoordinated reserve the next.
As to spreading genes about ,males dont think about it on a conscious level just as we dont think for the vast majority of the time oh lets make a new human when we want to have sex.
If there was no such thing as the male orgasm then I suspect the population of the world would be a fraction of what it is now.
As to your questions about “Why doesn’t every male donate to sperm banks?”
In the first part there are social taboos about it
,“Going down the Pub?”
“Yes might as well I’ve just knocked one out up at the sperm bank,shake buddy”
And secondly its not fun,which is why they have to pay donors to do it.
Why do some men remain monogamus?
Because of lack of opportunity to do otherwise,because of cultural strictures and lets face it judging by the divorce rate many of the faithful males might just be pulling a fast one(No connection with the point about sperm donors).
Before we evolved intelligence we we were no different from any other animals so to ensure survival of the species and the individuals genes it would require a mechanism that didn’t rely on consciously spreading those genes.
A Roebuck isn’t going to decide to breed it will act on instinct (If it didn’t it would become extinct)just like human males in fact which is why men have a higher sex drive then most (But not all women)and would happily,if allowed to,impregnate any passable women in their vicinity which having done so would not give it a thought even in retrospect.
As to men and women being in the "Range"whatever that means I would bet that women would tell me that effeminate men are not like genuine women but are in fact charicatures of women.
I genuinly dont mean to be offensive here and this is not directed at you as I’ve never met you but the Tom oys that I’ve met and Dykes sem to try TOO hard to act masculine,they swear too much are TOO loud and TOO physical,they certainly dont come across as men who just happen to have the wrong genitalia.
