Love and lust and passion are things that are difficult to square with our (mis)understanding as 'rational' entities; we are not thinking machines, we're reproduction machines. > But a lot of women, in particular, find it hard to accept that they are still looking for a protector and a provider. Our biology doesn't care what your carefully crafted self-image looks like; in the end male and female are two reproductive strategies that perpetuate the genes. It would do us good to keep that in mind and not be willfully blind to the biological sources of our behavior.
