In the sexual revolution, the interplay of money, love, and power has not really changed for men; their identities and power come from their survival-based role as provider.  And women still give them this role. “On an unconscious level” Perle writes, “it has to do with knowing that she and her children will survive.  When we talk about money, we’re talking about providing for basic human needs; this is basic human wiring.  And while providing and dependent roles have changed in the last seventy-five years, to brain stem psychology, that’s no time at all.” Men continue to use money to establish power in a relationship, and women continue to use money as a surrogate for love and attention.
