Funnily enough I was relaxing watching a film version of Nicholas Nickleby. The intro includes the casual observation that at 19 Nicholas becomes the "head of the family" responsible for the welfare of his mother and sister. Of course the good Nickleby and other gentlemen in the tale both revere the good women are are generous and extravagant in praise of worthy females. Of course Dickens was a spirited teller of tales, but it struck me how much of modern "feminism" has actually much the same assumptions of the Bourgeois 2 centuries ago, that males should carry the burden of supporting fragile and fearful females. Gynocentrism may have different shifts in society and societies but it does seem present most everywhere.
