Jim still wasn't satisfied, though he decided to [Save Template]. He'd try one more time, then if he wasn't happy with the results, restore things to this. Being the pampered "pet male" of three or four beautiful women, well, Jim could think of (and was familiar with) worse fates.
He came up with three ideas that might fix his major problems with the altered universes so far.
first if he altered the primate model from the beginning so that the males tended to be in charge. Perhaps even going to an evolutionary model based on felines or some other animal that had an Alpha male in charge of a pack. A little nudge on that, and he hoped it would carry through into the basic society.
the second scenario was to avoid messing with the evolutionary period altogether. Instead, he'd input the time of change to be near-past and it would alter the timeline to produce the 10:1 ratio that he liked, but with a minimal change from the past that Jim himself remembered.
the third possibility that had occurred to Jim, was that his major problem with the worlds created thus far had been that men had become second class citizens at best. What if he just told the computer to do whatever was necessary to reverse that trend?
Jim considered, then used
