You know I can't find that word, matrotropy (used in the NY Times mag
article) in my dictionary nor on the web dictionaries.
New word? Coined by an evolutionary biologist? Bet it was a male who coined
the term. In evolutionary terms, if mammal babies ate their mothers then I
would think evolution would be over? It might make a good thriller book or
movie, "The Silence of the Mothers." (a misogynist's dream come true)
