Peevishly enough, I have a pet peeve.
It is the misuse of the term Mother Nature. People use it for the planet, the weather and the way things go in the natural world.
I went and checked and the whole first page of links tell me that starting with the Greeks nature was personified as a mother figure.
I contend that this is a recent development. I know that I have seen the term used way way back for basically the human nature a person is born with, that they inherit from their mother. IOW human nature or even original sin almost.
Naturally, that must come from the woman. lol
There, now I feel better.
As always, refutation is welcome. I could be crazy.
