Corri, am I missing the whole point about the maternal instinct thing? I like the idea of it. But in reality, and through my work history, I have seen plenty of women put men and all sorts of stuff before their kids. So I don't think the theory really holds up on that end.
Oh, believe me, I've seen it, too. I'd say it goes along with 'survival of the fittest' kind of thing... but given we are now societal animals, it makes a bit fuzzier.
And, like I said earlier... just because you see that kind of behavior... does it mean you respect it? How does it make you feel? Would you call those women honorable? I wouldn't call them loyal, either, and that kind of supports your point, doesn't it?
