How can I call security a woman's primary fantasy if I am saying it is also her primary need?

Once boys' and men's challenges are clear, the question 'why now' quickly becomes 'why didn't we see this sooner?' The answer? Virtually every society that survived did so by socializing its sons to be disposable.

Feminists often discuss women having two jobs: work and children. True. But no one discusses those divorced and remarried men who have three jobs: work, and two sets of children to nurture and financially support.

Men’s greatest weakness is their facade of strength, and women’s greatest strength is their facade of weakness.
