Animals like reptiles that have no neocortex cannot experience anything like maternal love; this is why baby snakes have to hide to avoid being eaten by their parents.

In addition, phrases like "get off you knees" were directed at a salesperson (though gender neutrality doesn't hide much here) trying to gain favor with a particular client. The time women most often came up in conversation was in reference to the women these men were divorcing or divorced from. And if you were lucky, you might hear about pick-up joints with "hot women" who "knew what...
