I feel that this it ignores the greater purpose that mankind has. Greater then finding a mate. Creating and building. That is universal and is gender neutral.

Mankind doesn't have that purpose and may not even have any purposes. Many people value certain things, but that's very different.

Don't confuse what survival often selects for with purpose.

Looks like we're headed down a path that reflects our philosophical outlook more then anything else. To each his own.

Finding a mate is a means to an end, namely making more of mankind--which is the important, recursive step in the human purpose of creating and building. You can create and build the most by creating and building more creators and builders.

It ignores it only as much as the average person does.
