I was unsure as to why you kept referring to evolution. I think the advantages of an older mate exist only within certain cultures. I was trying to say that what is socially advantageous is not always biologically so.
"Certain cultures" being damn near all of them, including every society I've ever participated in. Now, is it possible that younger people and women held the most power in (one or more of) our ancestral environment(s)? Yes. Totally.
But I kinda doubt it.
