Men seem to have a distinct biochemical disadvantage and weakness in the “war” of lust, romance and attachment. When divorce does happen, apparently women are 80% more likely to have the balls to initiate. It’s true that so many men are in relationships because they can’t leave, and not because they want to stay.

When I see so many men in power behaving badly in terms of sexual assault and harassment, I tend to think women are far more suited to leadership.

I like your sticky tape metaphor. The Buddhists and Stoics warn about the dangers of attachment, and advocate complete or at least managed detachment.
