The same can be said of men..............and more so

No.

The roles and behavior of men and women are differentiated by the simple fact that it is the woman who gets pregnant.

A lot follows from that fact. For one, the woman always knows that the baby she bears carries her genes.

Men cannot say with the same certainty that the baby their women bear carry their genes.

(Technology makes no difference in this, because the brains and emotions of men and women evolved long before genetic testing was invented)

For another, women have evolved to strongly feel the need that the man they have sex with, will stick around after he impregnates her, to protect and provide for her during her pregnancy and after giving birth, continue to do the same for her and the growing child. (However, if the woman already has a man to provide for any offspring she may have, she might also be tempted to combine her genes with some other guy, who is of better quality than her husband, this would be a genetic advantage for her, if she isn't caught)

Whereas a man, who historically could never be 100% sure the baby his woman bears is his baby, has been programmed to hedge his genetic bet, by feeling the urge to have sex with (and thereby impregnate) as many women as possible, including those of other men (the latter case is especially advantageous, as the other man wastes himself on rearing the other guy's baby, thereby perpetuating the other guy's genes, and not his own).

BTW, people generally don't behave because they are actually thinking what is good for the survival of their genes--rather the other way around: their genes strongly influence the decisions people make via emotions like jealousy, lust, etc.

I could go on and on . . . but why bother.

Yes they can. My schlong has never been in any other woman than the one I married and she has been likewise faithful in her marriage vows. Couples like us used to be considered normal.

FWIW, men can also perpetuate themselves by instilling their values into the children they raise. A good family friend of mine had the unfortunate circumstance of marrying a woman who wasn't faithful to him. He knew the first two daughters born to her were not genetically his. But he raised them with his values anyway.

It cost him his home and almost all his worldly possessions, but he eventually got full permanent custody. The girls wanted nothing further to do with their birth mother. Now they are delightful young ladies with conservative religious values.

They belong more to my friend via the love and values he instilled in them than any genetic connection.
