Battle of the Sexes

We have discussed whether any conclusion to this book is really necessary. The fact is that neither of us have a definite answer. We are inclined to believe that emphasizing certain points is necessary. We both believe quite strongly in the acceptance of every human being with all their flaws just as we want our flaws to be accepted. That does not mean we accept or tolerate unacceptable behavior. As a woman, I seek the strong emotional attachment with another human being. Whether it’s with a man or a woman is immaterial to me. I believe this kind of connection is more important to women. My interest in why we enter relationships and what we seek in them is what motivated me to write this book. I formulated the areas I wanted to discuss and laid out the chapters accordingly. Sex and the act of it is not what this book is about. This book is about relationships. Sex is a natural and basic part of human relationships and is therefore discussed, but as mentioned throughout, it is a basic instinct and drives the male in a much different way than the female. I realized during the course of this writing that news on what people are currently up to has given us much to write about. A few examples include Reggie White’s ignorant and inane comments, the sexual wanderings of a US president, and picketing the funerals of Barry Goldwater and Frank Sinatra, who are labeled as the cause of gays and lesbians taking over our government and the entertainment industry. This book is not about gays or gay rights. It is about people. It is about you and me, the way we relate to each other, and the way we marry and live together.
