203. Paternity has always been an "issue" for males.
Edited on Thu Jan-06-05 07:06 PM by SoCalDem
Females have NO way of denying maternity.. There's a person growing INSIDE them, but for males it's a "possibility" that the child could be someone else's. In the cruelest of animal societies, a "new male leader" kills the offspring that precedes him to insure that "none of his protective resources" go towards the young of a different sire, thus insuring that HIS genes will carry on instead of a different male's. The irony for lions (where this is common procedure)...females do most if not ALL of the hunting and protecting of the young :shrug:

Humans have "evolved" (or have we?) to define nurture as more important than nature, but if a guy marries a woman whom he cannot trust, why be married at all??
