Falling in love is biologically natural sustaining love is biologically un-natural. Sustaining love requires a learned discipline. The discipline of love. The discipline of understanding our partner. (I've never heard someone say I want a divorce - my partner understands me.)

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.

Let's face it: men do a lot of things in the workplace that women just don't do.

I'm not saying that men make better fathers than women do mothers.

Men rarely worry about using or being used because all relationships work that way. A man perceives himself as owning and being owned by a woman. Use is a dirty word only when theres an imbalance in the relationship.

Letting men die is a money-saving device. Safety costs money as one safety official put it, 'When everything is hurry, hurry, hurry, when you start pressuring people and taking shortcuts, things can go wrong. And then people die.' No. And then men die.

It is important for a father who feels pushed away [by the mom] to say, in effect, When you do that, I feel unwanted as a father, or I feel my rough-housing is not bad parenting it's my contribution to helping our child take risks. Women cannot hear what men do not say.

Without children, men have more liberty to earn less - that is, they are free to pursue more fulfilling and less lucrative careers, like writing or art or teaching social studies.

It is ironic that a movement that made its reputation championing the irrelevance of biological differences when those differences were to most women's disadvantage immediately returned to biological determinism when those differences were to the most women's advantage.

He and she become selective at different points she can be selective when he wants his primary fantasy - sex he can be selective when she wants her primary fantasy - commitment.

In brief, when a man fails as a wallet, we put him in prison when a woman fails as a mother, we offer her social services. We're taking a criminal approach to men, a social services approach to women.

The government passed more laws to protect women from dirty jokes than to protect men from death by faulty rafters at a construction site.
