Only among birds and mammals is the male superior; and here he owes his power to the fact that the female, having taken over most of the burdens of reproduction, is physically handicapped in the eternal war or love.
The separation of the sexes made it possible to unite in the offspring the hereditary qualities and capacities of two distinct lines of ancestry.
Beaumarchais : "Man differs from the animals in that he drinks without being thirsty, and makes love at all seasons"
It becomes bitterly obvious that the female is primary and basic, the male secondary and tributary, in the species; the male is a late specialization and embodiment of functions which were once performed without him.
Woman is cleverer than man in love because, normally her desire is less intense and does not so obscure her judgement; this is the secret of her ancient wisdom. Its not physical delight that woman seeks, so much as an indiscriminate admiration and a lavish attention to her wants; and in many cases the sheer pleasure of being desired contents her.
