As a Stay at home mom, I have to say that a man is just as "valuable as a female" at least in my house. If it weren't for my Husband we wouldn't be where we are today. But if it weren't for me we would have a very dirty house. Men and women in terms of humans are equally "valuable" in my eyes and in many ways.

As far as snakes go, Also I was wondering if another reason would be the fact that females can only produce so many clutches in her lifetime and males can reproduce longer? I am not sure if that is true with snakes or not but could that be a factor alond with the others mentioned?
