This is an interesting theory and it almost makes sense, but I don't buy it. A woman can love a man unconditionally, but if she's strong that won't be enough to keep her attached to him if he's too weak to provide. And even after she's left him, that love is still there and she may even continue to sacrifice for him, but she will no longer let him take too much from her once it's done.
Can you elaborate on your point that a woman can love a man unconditionally?
I think you may be confusing love and attraction here. What's so interesting about male attraction vs female attraction is this: the ability to provide and protect are factors in how women find men attractive. It's not a matter of women not loving or hating weak men; they are simply unattracted to them.
Fair enough, but you contradict yourself. You are saying that women cannot love men unconditionally because they would only be attracted to a man who they perceive as superior and that love only stands as long as his status as protector and provider holds, no?
Therefore, by this logic, should such a man become dependent on the woman, she can then love him unconditionally, but will no longer be attracted to him.
As an example, think of the marriage between an elderly couple in which the man has lost his mobility. He's can no longer provide and he's certainly no protector. Those are his wife's duties now and yet she stays and cares for him because she loves him unconditionally.
IIN to think children first is a fallacy
