The 'male' instinct A question for the male gender: which is the more painful (I mean as in really heart pain) event in your life: being left by your girlfriend or watching a (your) child cry? I guess many of us are all too familiar with the “men are from mars, women from venus” thingy, and we all (through observations in animals) speculate how our primitive nature may be. Yes, we may be monkeys in the past, we may evolve from animals, and some of our primitive instincts may be left inside of us. These include the nature of the male sex who are only concerned about passing on their genes, while the female is left to do the job of rearing the offsprings. Although this may be untrue for certain animals (e.g. penguins, some species of frogs, and certain beetles), our closest relatives according to My point is that I hate this. I hate being a human. I hate to acknowledge that we still harbor certain primitive instincts, and yet we have the conscience to realize that it may be problematic for the way our social rules are structured, and yet, we can’t do anything about it because it our primitive instincts… ARGH! On a ligher note, I am curious to know whether there are men who are… different. I mean, all the men I became close with always turn out to be a… being… inseparable from their primitive nature. Meanwhile, I do know certain men whom I seem to be close with, who seem to be… more evolved in their nature. Is it just because I don’t actually know him that well? Who knows… Right now, I am honestly tempted to complain to the primitive men that “If it was him, he would do otherwise…”, but I guess it would be rather problematic for our social lives. Apologies to all members of the male sex. I’m just a member of the opposite sex trying to cope with her own befuddlement of certain behaviours of your group member. And besides, I just submitted my manuscript draft to my supervisor… so I have nothing to do while my brain is still accustomed to intense activity for the past few days… 0 Comments: |
