You are just making this up as you go along. I can disprove your theory by the animal living in my house: cats live solitary lives and therefore do not divide tasks between genders. The idea that females primarily take care of children makes no sense since in most species (incl. most mammals) kids grow up pretty quickly. In most animals there is no sharp distinction of tasks between males and females.
??? No they're not? Cats do raise their young what the fuck. The female is also the only one that can ensure the kitten survive as she's the one producing the milk which is necessary. Male cats usually don't give a fuck about the kitten and just bring food for the mother.
The only exceptions to this is lions (which is sorta a cat), where females do everything and the males are just lying around.
Very cool you think so. Yet it's the case. I don't know how I can prove something that obvious to you. Just pick any common mammal you might find outside and there's a 95% chance that the female animal will take care of the child.
You seem to misunderstand me (deliberately??). Obviously female cats carry and nurse the young, but they also hunt, protect their territory etc (I.e. all the tasks you ascribed to males in your previous posts), because they live solitary.
