Ah!  Yes, understand now, thanks for the clarification.  :-)

And yes, in many cultures, men get both first, and best.  In my own 
Irish/Scottish culture, this still happened on a daily basis - adults 
got more expensive meat products than kids, and in poorer households, 
"the worker" got the best that could be afforded.   "The Worker" would 
get  steak, or sausage, or bacon.  Kids lucky to get cheaper mince, or 
cheap pies.

Mum came last.
