I had never thought of Cain and Abel in that way! At this point, I'll never run out of fodder for meditation...
As Mr. Crow mentioned, fungi are relatively new on the evolutionary scene, where as femininity is not. I think Rintrah was certainly on to something, but like any kind of false transcendence, his came with a great deal of presumption. Actually, I think the Devouring Mother is the Ring Chaos of molly coddling. Not only are you on your own if you have a devouring mother in your life, actually you are in danger all the time. You have to become a survivor; there's no depending on anyone else except yourself. The softness and perpetual childhood created by molly-coddling creates an equal and oppositely horrible hardness/premature adulthood when exposed to the Devouring Mother. The gushy emotions of molly coddling spur on the broken glass state of the Devouring Mother and vice a versa. As always, balance and harmony is somewhere in the middle.
The black widow is also a reaction to the weakness of the male. When males evolve into a corner of delicate weakness, they are only good for one thing (sperm) and then Nature in her cruelty does away with them ASAP. Nature being what it is, this is the same if a human male is soft and feminized and the woman assumes the protective typically-male role of provider/fighter. I think this is the trend we are seeing en masse -- women either opting in or being forced into the provider/warrior role, or some melange of both. In my opinion, this is a toxic state for any civilization because men have a natural propensity to be warriors and providers and women have a natural propensity to be nurturers and etheric plane harmonizers a.k.a. homemakers. Nobody can be all these things at once and to have everyone running around doing each other's roles leads to the exact kind of dumpster fire we are in right now.
