This didn't seem to go to the list.  Sorry
to repeat it.  Not that it's dying wisdom,
I'm just curious to see it appear.  Most of
my messages appear to me.  So... testing...

 Actually, male's are dominant in most societies. (Just wondering, can you give
me any examples of the reverse? maybe a language too?)

        Alas, no... see my prior post.
     
     So it is logical. 

 It is "naturalistic" in a conlang for the generic to be male, because that is
a paradigm in many natural languages.
 Whether it is "logical" for males to be dominant in most societies is another
issue entirely.
