**Roots of power imbalance and societal roles in history. **

Power imbalances historically stem not from cultural constructs of patriarchy but from biological and environmental factors, such as sanitation issues and inherent strength differences. The belief in the Imago Dei, rooted in Christianity, serves as a protective bulwark against the potential exploitation of women and children. Without this framework, societal norms, like chivalry, may be seen as patronizing, yet they provide vital social safety nets that counteract domestic violence. The concept of equal dignity acknowledges differences between men and women, allowing for aspirations based on individual capacities. Successful civilization should prioritize the needs of children, who have no say in their upbringing. Therefore, parents must act with the understanding that children would choose them for their nurturing capabilities. This typically involves mothers focusing on early child care and fathers embodying strength and protection. Current economic structures often neglect the importance of both parents being present, leading to a tragic disconnection in family dynamics, impacting children's well-being.
