Animal Husbandry?

I will never understand why men are in charge of the human world, on the farm, females rule.

To raise rabbits, we have 3 doe rabbits and

just one buck.

To produce lambs we keep two ewes and

one ram.

We have five hens but 

just the one rooster--and the ladies don't even need him to give us eggs.

Even when I kept bees, it was thousands of females to a handful of drones. And when the guys had served their purpose and were not contributing to the winter hive, the worker bees shoved them out to fend for themselves--there's a lesson there, ladies!

The females provide meat and eggs, milk and honey. The males provide sperm. That's it.

A farm is a matriarchy; maybe we should rename it animal wifery.
