In every facet of history there has been the male need to not just explore, but escape. This shows in multiple facets, where anywhere “society” has existed, the need to find somewhere else always spawns from two conditions, women and weak men. This is why every society immediately starts to stagnate over time, why the trope of weak men and strong men exist, and why men have always led the need to separate and move beyond versus the female led need to invoke status, to expand subjectivity, and to force those more capable than them to their knees.
