I read this entire thread. I want to be very clear that I did so entirely for you, and with the hope of being compensated in a flurry of kevroc-nudes.

I believe that this is false and that women want other men just as much as men want other women. (LOLHeteroAssumptionaments) but like you say:

Just don't mistake differing pressures and norms for sexes with hard-wiring.
I'm old-school. I believe in the permanence and importance of marriage, where there is no abuse. I'm sick of all this drama-divorce talk of "sparks going out" and "growing apart". This MTV-free2Bme sense of entitlement to a Disney Idealism meets Passion meets Porn relationship sickens me.
Marriage is about home and all the quiet love and comfort that will never be glamorous. Its beauty is in its consistency. It functions on a currency of hard work and logical self-sacrifice to an end that is bigger than one's whims, or finances. Having children is just one of those ends and (ignoring outliers or the very young who
think they are outliers right now but will spawn at 30) non-disposable marriage is good for both your souls as well as your longevity, happiness and the contribution you can reasonably make to your community and extended family. It has an amazing worth constantly under-valued in the tiresome whining of the entitled and arrogant.
Which brings me to my tangent rant: FFFUUUUU feminists. I resent no longer having the choice to stay at home and make my contribution to my circle via children, excellent dinners, hugs and a strict adherence to the concept that "a penny saved is a penny earned" and those roles that I might fill with effort/skill, rather than a 2nd income, that no longer hold value.
I get where you started out, but replacing one certainty (homemaking) with another (career) makes me just as much a prisoner. Your own desire for the shiny and new challenge of the workplace has left us with inferior children in a morally decaying society of people I can't respect. The potential for my freedom was not worth the gamble you took.
GG on the sexual liberation though..in the days of contraception.. sex has nothing to do with love.
