| ou sort of contradict yourself in your first post. You imply that there needs to be a support structure for females and then you say that the most basic unit of society is woman and child. I don't understand. Without support from either other females or males the child wouldn't be born/survive early childhood and the female might not even survive pregnancy. If this is the case then nothing can emanate from just woman and child. There needs to be more people. |
I guess what I was trying to say is that without the unit of mother and child and their need to be supported, there would be no need for society to have developed. Does that make sense? |

You are only 26 years old. Your Mum cannot possibly be very old.
I would smack my sons to the floor (even though they both tower above me) if they said this about me!!!!!!!
How patronising!! 
I love being a wife and Mum and cooking and gardening some of the time.....some of the time I am an unspeakable old harridan!!!! Some of the time I want to wear my false nails, flirt outrageously... and drink gin. |

Robert Tulip,
In my self-adopted role as stickler  , I caution that the meme concept has not been validated empirically, if indeed it can be. I simply think that to avoid misapplications of Darwin such as social Darwinism, we should stick to physical survival when we use his name. I don't have the background to say from which other authorities we might draw to explain social change and adaptation, but I suspect you might....
