Men and women will always have a love/hate relationship because sexuality is a highly personal, subjective and irrational force that most people think they understand but don't. Men are prone to the madonna/whore complex because society raises children in the illusion that we live in a society that isn't a stratified front for natural selection, and then when they encounter the sexual marketplace and realize women are just as cutthroat as men and seemingly driven by a cruel evolutionary will to find the best genetic mate they come off disillusioned and hopeless. The sexual revolution was a mistake not because as traditionalists argue it broke up the traditional family culture but because it is still trapped in that illusory mindset that somehow we can create a society not dictated by sexual desire and frustration. Women and men are both equally to blame for how this has turned out, but at the same time we can't control our genetic nature so nobody is to blame really. It's a really sad state of affairs and leaves men and women resentful and alienated from one another. I myself hate how much of my sense of self is wrapped up in sexuality, wish I was never born desu.
