Why do women and men feel so differently about sex, and why do women seem to get more emotional about it in episode #029: The End of Women Caretaking Men with Terry Real and the clip Transforming Sexual Dynamics?
I feel that men have to work hard to gain social status and financial stability to attract women, while women are pursued regardless of their qualities. It seems like there are often many men interested in one woman, giving her the power to choose. I'm frustrated by the idea that men have to chase after women and navigate complex social games to gain their interest.
