The crucial process of civilization is the subordination of male sexual impulses and biology to the long-term horizons of female sexuality. The overall sexual behavior of women in the modern world differs relatively little from the sexual life of women in primitive societies. It is male behavior which must be changed to create a civilized order.
Women conceive the future that men tend to flee, they feed the children that men ignore.
The fact is that there is no way that women can escape their supreme responsibilities in civilized society without endangering civilization itself. George Gilder, Men and Marriage , p. 1, 176-177, 1995.
