Funny, when I read it I thought how interesting it was that it was all centered on women.

As I understand it, the game is based on the idea that human cultural evolution was stagnant until our minds developed sufficient vocabulary to develop protolanguage, after which we went from 200,000 years with the same 3 tools to a cultural explosion. One of the cornerstones of this theory is that women were the keepers of vocabulary. That they essentially invented language. Hence the entire game is about the women who give you access to things all of whom are unique, and the generic men who just slot in as interchangeable husbands.
