Why not Female / Male balance?

Likely from the speaker’s POV only. Being raised in GA, we annually hear of the “Georgia/Florida game”. My brother, also raised in GA, went to University of Florida. He refers to it as the “Florida/Georgia game”. We do have some patriarchal beliefs or customs, such as a wife taking the husband’s name, or phrases like “Mr & Mrs”.
That is the way God began addressing male and females. Males were created to be aggressors and females to be responders.
When the females of a nation forsake the home and family a nation will not survive. We are all equal in Gods sight, it is just the order of a civilized nation.
