I am convinced that men and women are signficantly different from each other in important ways. That understanding is a foundational principle for much of what I believe about the issues we discuss here. Conversely, I've noticed that some of the people who disagree with positions I take on these issues are not convinced that the differences in the sexes are as significant or important. I don't think this is a coincidence.
The difference between men and women is one of the underlying reasons for where I am coming from when I write...
I'm convinced that sex is for marriage, that marriage unites the sexes, that life begins at conception, and that children, all other things being equal, are best raised by their married mother and father who have lots of great sex with each other....
I'm convinced that the state has an interest in the uniting of a bride and groom in marriage that is doesn't have with other kinds of relationships, because it is the only kind of relationship that may naturally produce children in a cohesive partnership that unites both basic elements of society, and provides the next generation of citizens with legally, financially, socially, spiritually bonded role model, guardian, nurturer, and provider from each of the two sexes.Read the rest of my statement at my namesake blog.
And evolution would agree with you.

"Jones speculates that this ability to perceive things about attractive people faster may have been useful to early humans. Previous research shows that feminine women and masculine men make the healthiest mates. "There's likely to be quite a big advantage to detecting when a particularly good potential mate's looking at you," says Jones. "If I'm in a bar and there's a pretty woman looking at me – if I wasn't married – I would want to catch her eye before someone else did.""
I think what is interesting, that even though we have this ability to seek out healthy/attractive people of the opposite sex through feminine/masculine traits, scientists always refer to 'early humans' as if being attractive and healthy aren't preferred qualities in a partner. Of course there are other qualities, pertaining to morals/ethics of a sexual partner but biology is still a force we can't will out of existence either.
These rules of seeking high feminine or high masculine funny enough exist most in sperm/egg donations, in which individuals/couples may rely on. It's not just IQ, but health and appearance judgments are based upon all without biological connection to the emotion sexual bonding may bring.
