All this talk about gender roles has given me a buffet of thought for how hain gender roles would develop. I don't know how changing reproduction from pregnancy to laying clutches would alter how females would behave. I mean, they have fairly clear males and females, but I haven't exactly got troupes of egg-laying primates here on Earth to compare them with. *sigh* This is my fault for designing such a weird species.

Anyone here know enough about birds, or lizards, or echidnas to give me a hint?
