I honestly couldn't read the whole thing. Only a fool fights biology.
Maybe so. But the other side of the coin is that we are humans not animals and we have a brain. Humans don’t run around slavishly chasing after every animal urge as they occur. Well, some people do. But we don’t need to talk about *those* kind of people.
btt
However feminists don't seem to want to be their assigned sexual identity. No matter how much they claim it's a social construct, men and women are different and have different roles in life.
As a man, I don’t choose to put my career on hold to chase women or kill game. Well, sometimes I do. But not for years at a time.
Did you get the mistaken impression that the author subscribes to this feminist position?
??!? Testosterone is mostly produced in the testicles. In women, most T is produced in the ovaries, although the amount is much less than in men.
Women invest more in children because they know their offspring are theirs. Until DNA testing, men never really knew who parented their female partner's offspring. Also, women have a very limited supply of eggs, whereas men produce millions of sperm every day, so they have an opportunity to spread their genes around and improve their odds. That's why males are tempted to be promiscuous, and to switch to younger women as they age.
Women have an instinctive, hard-wired drive to reproduce and raise children, while their recent obsession with careers is the “artificial social construct” invented by radical feminists, most of whom are lesbians.
I think man has moved beyond caveman ideals. Is it your job to provide and care for your family?
I am having connection issues with the computer. And it's getting slower. I may or may not be back. lol
The dumb males do!
The smart ones know about paternity suits, child support payments and wage garnishment.
If ALL moms of young children would just stay home and spend quantity time with them, salaries would go up for men AND the women who don’t have small children.
Plus it benefits society to put care, love, and quantity of time into raising the next generation.
Polls of babies and tots everywhere conclude: They want their mommies, not ever-changing nannies or daycare. Period.
More reason why I don’t date.
Great and truthful comment!!!
IMHO, babies and smaller children NEED emotional stability, something only a close, full time relationship can provide.
Some people can't avoid daycare, but I did with my twins, and I believe they are better for it.
Yes, and I was inquiring if that was because you mistakenly believed the author was a feminist, which is the impression I got from your post.
I disagree that women are hardwired to be breadwinners. THAT is a societal pressure.
Yes, and the author of the piece also disagrees that women are hardwired to be breadwinners.
I’m just trying to make sure you didn’t dismiss the piece because you misinterpreted the position the author is coming from early on.
for later reading
