However. Look how SG and Ms. IC came in to defend their H's. Loyalty. IC came real close to breaking Ms. IC's loyalty, and not to go down a dark alley... but if that R were to have crumbled, I bet money she'd fight tooth and nail to keep her girls... not that IC would fight any less... but from a mother's standpoint, those are her babies... that's how she'd feel about it, I bet.
I wasn't defending my h, I was defending my gender. *s* And my H wouldn't fight me for custody, simply because I'd be the better 24/7 parent, and he's both smart and practical. If he were married to someone where he thought he'd be better able to provide their daily needs, he'd fight. As I happen to think fathers are crucial I'd do my best to work something out where he could see them as much as possible.
I still think you and I are arguing two different matters. I don't dispute the mother/child connection or do I dispute that women are "programmed" to take care of children, I simply don't think you can extrapolate about the origins of their loyalty, honor, or honesty from the fact that they can get pregnant and give birth. But I have no problem agreeing to disagree.
