Let us first approach this issue from an anthropological angle. Mankind had been hunter-gatherers for ‘362 days’ and farmers for only ‘3 days’ — Anthropology says that the hunter-gatherer period lasted 1.4 million years; agriculture began just 12000 years ago. ’362 days’ of hunting, to a very great extent, moulded the male and female characteristics we observe today. The male is  physically stronger, prone to aggression, superior in spatial skills and adept at handling material objects.  In addition, he became extremely vulnerable to visual inputs because the hunter had to locate both prey and predator with sharp eyes. This dependence on eyes and  sights for ‘362 days’ has made him vulnerable to the visual stimuli.  One end result is his obsession with the female form and beauty. As we all know, world art and literature is studded with numberless male-authored works which glorify  the female form, limbs and features.

The womenfolk of the hunter-gatherer days had ample leisure; they had no responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning or washing.  Their only duties were to nurse and take care of the young.  The free time at hand was used by the female to observe, express and communicate.  Her linguistic skills improved vastly and her powers of observation and communication flourished.  These human skills today make her better human-resource managers.  She was mother right through and mothers were ever loving, caring  and gentle.

Also, it appears that women who had been talking and listening for ‘362 days’ became vulnerable to the auditory stimuli. They are today observed to be easily carried away by the spoken word.  Fake lovers are continually trapping young girls through sweet talk.  Recently in Kerala, a 25 year old  IT professional deserted her home and travelled 500 km only to discover, with police aid, that her mobile-phone lover was a 70 year old.
