This is what I see when I think of a KL dominated society : isolationist.

Yeah, ZZi are not the greatest builders around. They would probably hold much better and longer in a "surrounded-by-enemies" situation.

I effectively think they do not want the woman-magic (and to make another
badly choosen analogy) no more than most human males are quite happy to
leave the "power" of pregancy to women. On the other hand, getting as much
power as they can is probably a healthy mindset. And ZZi especially dislike
being subversient to "mothers" (:-))
