The lengths to which man will go to degrade himself are remarkable. I remember reading the preface to the first edition of Richard Dawkins’s historically very important book The Selfish Gene, written by the great evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers, in which it was claimed that research on the social bees and wasps demonstrated conclusively that there was no reason why men and women should have different roles in life. I laughed: You might as well say wives have no option but to kill and eat their husbands because some female spiders kill and eat their mates. Equality of the sexes might be right for a number of reasons, but the behavior of the social wasps is assuredly not one of them.
