Women have always been seen as the bearers of the Nature, whereas men have been seen as the bearers of the Civilization. What is the reason for this?
One theory says that each human being yearns for immortality. Women have reached this by having children. Giving life to a baby means sending a part of you to the future - a mother is reflected in her children - and their children - and their children - and so on, in the infinity. On the other hand, a man, with all the uncertainty of fatherhood that life brings, cannot look at his children as his continuation. Therefore, a man seeks for other ways to ensure his immortality. He does this by creating things - inventing, discovering, writing and so on. And in the course he creates Civilization with all its creature comforts.
However, Civilization in the current stage brings, apart from all the negative aspects raging from violence to exploitation of natural resources, something that men did not foresee: the emancipation of women. Just see - all the "less civilized" societies are patriarchal, but the more "civilized" a society is, the more power do its women want.
Funny, is it not? Only thanks to the creation of the men do women now have such power. I wonder if they realize it.

What is the difference between sons and daughters?
The greatest one - sons are men and daughters are women.
(Obvious, isn't it?)
All right, the question should rather be: Why is the relationship between a mother and her son so different from the one between a mother and her daughter?
Or, to put it more specifically, why, from a certain age, do sons get on with their mothers better than daughters?
The answer to this question is hidden in the genetically encoded roles of women and men. I believe that both men and women do have some genetically encoded information that tells them, to oversimplify, whether they should be hunters or keepers of fire. Biologically, this is influenced by the amount of hormones and what not.
Now, what I am getting to is that every girl is a potential mother. She knows this (unconsciously). And her thinking is designed so as to accommodate this role.
Therefore, unlike a son, a daughter can see through her mother's tricks. That is why the tricks do not work on her, and that causes friction in the relationship.
How simple, Mrs Watson.
