    If men were sexually put off by obnoxiousness in women as easily as women are put off by obnoxiousness in men sexual relations would cease entirely

    This is why women are so determined to deny the sexual differences between men and women, so they can continue to argue that male horniness and the female lack of it proves that men are obnoxious and coddled by women and society (after all they still want sex) and women are abused (if women were as coddled as men they would be as horny as men so if a woman is one tenth as horny as a man it PROVES that life is 10 times harder for her, she works 10 times as hard, suffers 10 times the physical and emotional abuse, etc.) The fact that ANY MALE has EVER been induced to even pretend to take such insanity seriously is PROOF beyond doubt that women have ALWAYS had ENORMOUS power.
