Is there theory dealing with how animal products are female coded? (hexbear.net)

The animals themselves, not the people using it. A cow is the name for female cattle, male chicks get killed early, and the horseback empires were run mainly from atop of mares.

also, they can be more aggressive, especially if there's more than one of them in a group. easier to slaughter the ones you dont want to breed from.

or castrate them. hence oxen, geldings, etc, for male animals that have a use beyond being a sperm factory.

oh yeah, and you dont technically need a lot of males to keep population numbers up, because sperm is incredibly cheap compared to the investment required from female animals
