*except* through the confines ('auspices'?? BLECH.) of the
typical het relationship with a
(male?)

so. Even then? It’s pretty much about him ‘keeping’ her, as in, “Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater...” etc. GAG.

Women only do it? Because they have no other way to survive.

And *emotional* needs????

It is to *laugh*. With despair – because, what else ya gonna do? *cry*??!? *That’s* for ‘sissies’, at least according to the so-called ‘men’.
