Women take a lot of blame, going back to the story of the snake and the apple. Status signalling is alive and well in both sexes and probably all social systems. Rare is the person who says "I don't care what others think" and really means it. Realistically, it's probably an individual and social good that we are motivated to act certain ways to certain people. I guess the point is that you can't please everyone all the time and you will come to grief if you try.

Or the father of those children… every bit as much to blame!

of course, but, as a mother, I just don't understand it. It's unnatural.

I agree mama bear, I totally agree. A mother’s protection, when it’s working properly, is a fierce and lovely thing to behold!
