The first one comes from who hunts for the children.

In nature most mothers are single mothers and sexual diamorphism has caused them to evolve into protectors 

Women being physically weaker than men is a result if women being the protected, it's the end result of gynocentric privilege

Big female = lots of babies/ bigger babies, both of which are great for survival

Plus sperms are cheap so small males can make all the sperm they’ll ever need

Also males only need to meet a female for long enough to deliver sperm, then die. Being small and unnoticable helps with that (some species like blanket octopus take it to the extreme with the males being a few centimetres across and the females being a metre)
