"Domineering Maidens"

I think you are taking some concepts and applying them rather sloppily to humans and their culture, carrying alot of points to hyperbole, but I agree with some things, Legio:

Individuals with high-testosterone levels are generally favorites for the latter activity and are at a disadvantage to carry out the first activity. I am beginning to believe having a high testosterone level is disadvantageous nowadays in terms of financial success... and financial success does seem to have an impact on sexual selection in at least some cases.

Some other of your points got me thinking about the b*****s. One possible answer is this: Each and every member's potential work output and skills were greatly needed in primitive settings, thus, as the group is already breeding as much as possible or as much as to their liking, each member is valued for this. A person's survival would have been closely linked with how valuable their skills were to the group, because if the group values a person more they may in the end get a greater share of the limited usable/processed resources. It would be of vital interest for even a relatively undesired or low-ranked female (even if she perceived this as a slight on the part of the group) to contribute her skills to her fullest. And as much as I hate to admit it, this type often has the drive and self-centeredness to have been able to become a specialist, something that was probably mysterious and much-valued. In modern times, the girl can do whatever the **** she wants and still survive, consuming as much resources as the job that she stepped on other people to achieve will allow her. Now that survival and mutual-dependency is out of the picture, it is just a lone psyche weathering a long storm of perceived slights... and so the desire for psychological comfort now is unfettered and free to direct her behavior.

And this is exclusive to females ?

No, I was also going to add, that this why where previously weaklings were commonly moralists (The oppossite phrasing DOESN"T apply, please note), they are now commonly the most rampant amoralists of all (again, the opposite doesn't apply).
