    Literally modeling how men are supposed to feel and express attraction to their partners, how is that not political?

      It’s political to show positive interactions in a long-term relationship? Are you saying men should treat their SOs like shit…?

      It has absolutely nothing to do with the government or its policies, for starters.

      If you think society should regulate expressions of long lasting attraction, you’ve got issues.

              I have a feeling it has nothing to do with regulating expressions of long lasting attraction between partners, but feel free to make your case

                    Reproduction is understood as the maintenance and continuation of existing social relations.

                    . In that application, it is used to explain the role of women in wider social and class structures, and their (often unrecognized) contribution to the capitalist economy via their (traditional) role within the household as both child-bearers and family caretakers, and by extension women’s role as providers of free labor that is necessary to produce and maintain current and future workers.

                    Men wouldn’t obsess over women’s breasts if they weren’t taught to by society, simple as. Plenty of cultures didn’t have this phenomenon, and think that it is weird that people do that.
