I was reading Simmel about females being excluded from the process of production of culture. And he said that while males can segregate their life into different spheres because they can specialize and draw clear lines between the different jobs and duties which they have, females are holistic in their psychological make up and their approach to life because their duties and work are more diversified without much specialization. It is a rather strange theory.
But the distinctive point which I picked up is that the word used to describe the totality that characterizes women is "fidelity". For it shows that a female is complete and her whole sense of purpose with her whole being is directed towards a particular person or goal.
And the reason why men are less faithful is their ability to differentiate and separate the different aspects of their lives. Their ability to "specialize" proves to be the undoing of their ability to be faithful.
Perhaps some of my female friends whose mottos in life are "All men are b**tards, besides my father, my brother and my boyfriend" should see this, because they are wrong.
All men are b**tards, without exception.
