schopenhauer would suggest that its the antagonistic

and that the primary 'hard-wiring' of any male
is to produce and spread seed in as many females
as possible...
whereas the females are only intent on becoming
pregnant.
while it is naturally not the male's association
to be concerned with the latter... it is social
values imposed upon the males that create a
dam of sorts from the natural inclination to
spread seed.... therefore the WILL is thwarted...
though still present.
although females do desire pregnancy (through
the WILL)... females out number males on a
natural scale of (at least) 4 to 1... (sometimes
greater). this is all mathematically precise...
in terms of the stages of pregnancy, weening, etc.
it all revolves around some intricate ridiculous
scheme... that....
while one is at the beginning stages of pregnancy,
another is ending pregnancy, a third is nurturing,
and the fourth is weening (soon to be ready to
reproduce again).
but then again... it all depends on what you wanna believe [img]tongue.gif[/img]
