This work distribution has defined completely different conditions for life of men and women. It gave men the right to external activity for world survey and its governance, thus he received a right of the subject of history. Meanwhile women only got a responsibility rather than a right to give birth and upbringing to children, right to take care of the family and house hold.

I have recently encountered the words 'Cougar Women' - a term dreamt up by some male or possibly jealous young female to describe an older woman engaged in a relationship with a younger man. The description 'Cougar Woman' infers a predatory mature woman (35-50+) who hunts, stalks, lusts after and imposes her attentions upon some innocent, inexperienced young male. The traditional description for the older male who does likewise is, 'Sugar Daddy' -- Would it not be appropriate, in light of today's touted 'equality of the sexes' to apply the description of Panther Daddy?
