the history of patriarcate - and matriarcate - and those crudges aside, at least for a moment, and look at behavioral experience, women are hormone monsters who consider it their god given right to nag and bad mouth most of the time or at least certain special times... ;) but that is not the real problem or source of mistrust, men sensible (or horny or lonely in need of SO) enough have learned to endure those moods since age old... :)

In my experience the deep source of mistrust in this day and age comes from the fact that both sexes are today at loss on how to grow our children and preserve them a world that offers a decent chance of living a good wholesome life. And in our mutual fear and worry about future generations we tend to project and blame the other one.

In old ages the social sexes and their roles were more clear cut and better defined - with huge variation from tribe to tribe, for sure. Mothers and fathers knew what they were supposed to teach their children, together and separately and as a tribe. Now there is great confusion and insecurity.
