Men are primarily hunters and scavengers. We take our spears, and we assume that we are the only ones who know how to use one, and go out in search of the Wooly Mammoth.

I would like to qualify this answer by saying that I don't know if my 16 year old son is gay. He's very macho, extremely good looking, plays soccer and football, plays poker with his buddies - but has no girlfriend. I have been asking myself the posted question every now and then.
