I had always thought that women were better with very young children because , 1) they can nurse them and 2) men seem to have more anger control problems. Of course that may just be the men I've seen. But just yesterday in Costco I saw an angry dad (with 3 year old crying child in the cart) push his cart way too roughly because he was annoyed and the child fell back and hit his head hard. I can't remember seeing a mom do that. I am sure they do, but I haven't seen it.

I never thought about men being better able to deal with isolation. I'm not sure that's true. And when you combine isolation with the lowered status of being a homemaker, I would think it would take a very unusual man to be able to stick it out- and I think it does. As women have more and more choices it is beginning to be only unusual women who stay home as well. Thus the vast majority of children in the US are raised in little day care farms, rather than by either parent.
