PROUT Editor's note: In fact, these preferences are not rooted in evolution. Rather, that would be patriarchic propaganda dished out by the so-called researchers. Millions of years ago when human beings first originated on this earth, a matriarchal and matrilineal society was in place. It was only after many millenia had passed that men gradually subordinated women to their present degraded position. Brown and Lewis need to study the history of human civilization before distributing such flippant assumptions regarding results of their survey. It is only highly insecure men who feel the need to police their spouses and constantly check to see whether their spouses are maintaining fidelity to their husbands or not. That is the flaw, the fatal defect, in those men - and the study indicates that the majority of men suffer from this defect - it is not the fault of any woman. The fact that in this so-called study women were not particular as to a man's status in relationship to his desirability as a partner, it would be better if she ascertained carefully before marriage whether he is a man who prefers a coordinated relationship with his spouse or a subordinated one. If he opts for a subordinated one, then the woman should drop him like a ton of bricks!

NEW YORK - Men would rather marry their female assistants than equal-ranking women or their supervisors, according to social psychologists. The results are based on a study of men's ratings of imaginary women with different job titles, during which they judged them according to their appeal as a one-night stand, friend, or long-term partner.
