This is an interesting concept. One could equally argue that security is a
masculine quality as can be clearly seen from most primitive societies. While
health might have been based on prophecy and incantation in primitive
culture, it incorporates careing and nurturing rather than a "hunter"
function, and hence feminine qualities.
Will be interested to see where this train of thought leads.
