Many of the \u201cbattered women\u201d we are encouraged to sympathize with have a remarkable tendency to suffer from abuse at the hands of every<\/em> man with whom they become involved. Tammy Wynette, the Country singer who gained fame with the song \u201cStand By Your Man,\u201d was married to five men and left four of them (managing to die with her fifth marriage still intact). Most of her husbands are said to have abused her in some way, and teary-eyed retellings of her \u201ctragic\u201d life have been offered to the public.<\/p>\n

I remind the reader of the central principle of male-female relations: women choose<\/em>. They represent the supply; men represent the demand. If Tammy Wynette never took up with a man who failed to abuse her, there can be only one explanation: Tammy had a thing for nasty boys<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you put a woman like this in a room with a dozen men, within five minutes she would be exclusively focused on the meanest, most domineering and brutal fellow in the room. Some women who had alcoholic fathers have a similar uncanny ability to detect the alcoholic in a room full of men, even if he is sober at the moment. \u201cWomen\u2019s intuition\u201d is a reality: it is an ability to pick up on tiny signals, slight nuances of facial expression that would go unnoticed by a man.<\/p>\n

We are attracted to qualities in the opposite sex which our own sex lacks. For many women, this means an attraction to male brutality. Such women may claim to want a sensitive fellow who is in touch with his feelings, but this bears no relation to their behavior. What women say about men comes from their cerebral cortex; how they choose men depends upon their evolutionary more primitive limbic system. Even campus feminists choose arrogant jocks to \u201chook up\u201d with, not male feminists in touch with their emotions. I have heard it suggested that the best reason not to strike a woman today is that you will never be able to get rid of her afterwards.<\/p>\n
