Disciplining the disciplined: Making sense of the gender gap that lies at the core of puritanical morals

Edward B Royzman et al. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

Because suppression of sex has been and is at the core of puritanical morals, a proper account thereof would need to explain why suppression of sex has been largely directed towards the human female. Not only do the authors not account for this pattern, but their general model would seem to predict the reverse - that is, greater suppression/control of the male libido.
