But of course these are just broad generalizations of something that is much more complex, namely the natures of women and men. Not all men are protectors or hunters and in fact, as society becomes more civilized, men are losing their hunting instincts. You see this clearly when you look at males in your generation compared to your father’s generation and again when you look at your children’s generation. Hunting is still a popular sport with males but the number of males who hunt decreases with each generation. Hunting as a sport does not have the same meaning as hunting to place food on your family’s table. Also, more and more young males are fond of animals, developing a more nurturing heart toward animals. This has a long, long ways to go but the female influence in this area is beginning to pay dividends. A great example of this is my father. He grew up on a farm and to this day he cannot understand people like me who allow animals in the house and on the furniture. To him, animals do not belong in the house. That was the mindset of his generation.
