George Gilder in his book Men and Marriage stated one thesis on the differences of men and women. He proposes that men are barbarians who desire to hunt, to obtain power, and to wander. Women, on the other hand, have a maternal instinct and are sexually superior to men in that they experience sexual love, intercourse, marriage, child conception, childbearing and breast feeding. Gilder says that men must be tamed and transformed by the love of a woman. If the woman gives her love away freely to the barbarian, he will not be tamed.
[Gilder states that] men lust, but they know not what for; they wander, and lose track of the goal; they fight and compete, but they forget the prize; they spread seed, but spurn the seasons of growth; they chase power and glory, but miss the meaning of life.
In creating civilization [according to Gilder], women transform male lust into love; channel male wanderlust into jobs, homes, and families; link men to specific children; rear children into citizens; change hunters into fathers; divert male will for power into a drive to create. Women conceive the future that men tend to flee; they feed the children that men ignore.1
