God generally (not always) uses males to start a thing (probably because we possess the need to cast the seed – another discussion) – I’ve seen women start a thing, but more often than not its a male – but once the thing is up and running, again IMHO, all bets are off – everybody is needed and has a place.

Women are to initiate childbirth. They invite and the man acquiesces. Consider Rachel, Ruth, Hannah, Tamar and many more. Women equally cast their seed, as Sarah does in Hebrews 11. But men are needed once the pregnancy is off and running. Funny how intercourse looks from a different perspective. The scripture pattern is that women invite and men respond.
