Sometimes I ponder on the so-called 't'nh dda`n ba`'. Why is that being petty so associated with women? I think about all the social suppression on females in many male-dominated cultures: females not considered for certain jobs, even in female dominated fields if she lets it known that she may be pregnant, women earning less, etc. Why is that? I deem it's because of the lack of resources that women have. The less resources you have, the more violent and petty you are. Because of the women's physique, they can't actually be overtly violent, they turn out to be passive-aggressive and petty. In a few other minority 'exotic' tribal cultures in which women are dominated, they also exhibit these so-called gender-assigned male traits: chasing for mates, etc. I wonder if it's 'ti'nh dda`n ba`' should be reassigned as lack-of-resources and vice versa.....
