The conflict of the sexes is reflected in religious dogmas - from the commandment about the wife of a neighbor to the establishment of mutual sexual obligations of spouses. The codes of laws created under his influence prescribe who and with whom can or cannot have sex. Its manifestations shape our sexual morality, determining what should give us enthusiastic approval and what should be contemptuous condemnation. The double standards it generates are widespread even in the planet's most sexually egalitarian cultures. But, while we all face sexual conflict, most of us see only the tip of the iceberg: cheating on a date, the unseemly adventures of a politician, the slow destruction of a once happy marriage, the brutal breakdown of a romantic relationship. The book "Why Men Do It" shows that the war of the sexes is something much deeper and more global than we think.
