According to the divine will, it is the role of invulnerable males to protect vulnerable females. In theory, if not in practice, it is the right and duty of each male to exclusively own and protect his own female. In appreciation for her protection, it is the duty of each man's female to take care of and fulfill his emotional needs---without threatening or undermining his sense of invulnerability. It is each female's duty to support each male's sense of security and sense of being in control; even when he is not. Honesty is not essential according to the "macho" paradigm. Men's sense of invulnerability as the key to security is more important than is honesty. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
