Marriage and the Power of Divorce

RP is actually based off of some pretty interesting research. And from a purely physiological standpoint Dumar is right, all women are essentially the same. His problem is he extrapolates that to mean every woman will react to situations and people exactly the same way. He forgets that nurture and social constructs exist to sway how women (well, people in general) react to different things and he pretends all women fit into a neat little box that he can string along whenever he wants with "trigger behaviors" or whatever bullshit he thinks he's got nailed down. It's the same for men too, all men are the same until our upbringing and interpersonal relationships help shape and mold us.

For instance when he says all women are ready to cheat when they're ovulating... I mean, that's ridiculous. But biologically speaking that's when a woman is going to be horniest and is actually more likely to act on impulse than when she isn't ovulating... because of actual natural urges. When you separate the rhetoric from the research it actually makes good sense. When you add some kind of ridiculous game plan on top of it to socially engineer getting your dick wet it goes way off the rails, resulting in RP.
