In my opinion, they are highIQ, not NPCs.
I always though that in a patriarchal society women are the real householders and masters. A male is reduced to a living betabux, slave to his wife and children.
When the child is born, the patriarch is dead and his life will be devoted to the protection of wife and offspring.
Only a highIQ woman can desire to subordinate a male to the point where his only goal in life is to bring resources to her.
Also in Jew families wives are the real masters, males are just living wallets who represent the family’s image in the society. Inside the house women are the real masters.
