it suddenly came to me....

Woman. Weaker gender. Children. Weak and vulnerable. Woman is in God's design meant to be a mediator for children between them and the adult world full of evil and violence. 

But without a positive and God designed relationship with the male this fails, which is probably why humans have historically been so effed up. 

"The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world" is the saying. There's nothing more important than growing new humans and women have been aware of this but used it for evil, another reason humans are so effed up.
