In birds, the females provide necessary nutrients in the large eggs to sustain growth and development of the embryo at great personal cost. In mammals they bear the fetus for weeks to months and lactate to feed infants. This is why the words gene, genesis, generate derive from the Sanskrit 'Jan' to give birth. It is the basis of the adage 'Janani janmabhumischa swargaadapi gariyasi' – the mother and the motherland, are dearer than heaven (GARA-GURU-in Sanskrit mean heavy from which are derived gravity and gravid in English). Incidentally only America and Germany that I know of depict their nation as Uncle Sam and the Fatherland. Almost all other nations call it the motherland (Britannia, Bharat Mata, La Belle France). Both liberty and justice are depicted as females. Parthenogenesis or giving birth without contribution from a male is clearly prevalent in nature, from insects to lizards. The opposite is only imagined in myths.
