About This Quote

When President Bill Clinton said, "Since the dawn of time, women have been attracted to mates with strong survival skills—like intelligence and physical prowess—because men with these qualities are more likely to bring home dinner at the end of the day. He stuck his thumbs in the air and grinned. “Dinner equals survival, team." The idea is that men are supposed to be providers whereas women are simply accessories. Although the dominant role is changing, men still have a role as providers of food, shelter and protection.
