Exploring the evolution of love and gender in Western civilization, the book examines how social dialogues shape gender roles throughout history, rooted in a "master grammar" from the Greco-Roman era. It delves into the assessment of femininity across various domains, including medicine and law, before defining male-female relationships. The author analyzes classical works by philosophers and playwrights, highlighting the significance of homosexuality in understanding gender dynamics. Ultimately, it critiques the romantic notion of love, advocating for a new framework relevant to contemporary society.
