"Part of the reason that men seem so much less loving than women,"
argues sociologist Francesca Cancian, "is that men's behavior is
measured with a feminine ruler." This has devalued and displaced and
replaced it with another. "His" expressions of love included sexual
passion, the practical aspects of providing and protecting, ensuring
material survival and mutual aid. "Her' way of loving was sharing
feelings, developing mutual emotional dependency, and nurturing
through talk."
