This article contains a description of the inspiring ideas about the nature and origin of female stress responses as offered by Taylor and colleagues (2000). Thereafter, the main lines of reasoning behind their evolutionary, psychological theory are discussed, in particular the fact that the theory is based on women as pregnant beings and/or mothers. Also, attention is paid to some implications of the theoretical framework for psychological theory and practice. It is argued that the, in many cases gendered, nature of the stressor is of great importance, together with the direct social context in which the stressor is operative. For the prediction of the nature of female stress responses, it might be relevant to distinguish between social contexts in which care-needing children are present or absent, while also other, possibly relevant, sex- and gender-specific characteristics should be taken into account.

The present study examined the differences in partner preference and jealousy among lesbians who identified themselves as butch or femme. We hypothesized that butch and femme lesbians would behave analogously to male and female heterosexual persons, with butches more attracted to a partner's physical appearance and more jealous of a partner's sexual behaviour and femmes more attracted to a partner's financial resources and more jealous of a partner's emotional behaviour. Eighty-four lesbian women attending a Gay Pride celebration ranked the attributes, that would make them most jealous of potential competitors in whom their partner might be interested, and they rated their willingness to go out with hypothetical others who varied in physical attractiveness, income, and masculine or feminine personality. Results indicated that butches and femmes did not differ in sexual versus emotional jealousy. However, femmes were more influenced by the financial resources of potential partners than were butches. Butche...

Heterosexual love is often assumed to be intimacy between two very differently gendered beings. This paper focuses on how gender difference is constructed in relation to love and emotionality in intimate relationships by juxtaposing evolutionary psychological approaches with a narrative, social constructionist and feminist approach. Evolutionary theory, in its most common form, supports notions of ‘natural’ differences, with love for children and partner seen as part of maximizing the reproduction of genes. In contrast, social constructionists call into question the ‘naturalness’ of any such notions by highlighting how they are continually reproduced through currently available linguistic resources and narratives. From this perspective, the experience of, and emotional approach to, heterosexual love is constrained by the stories able to speak or write of them. After outlining these different perspectives, this paper contributes to the debate on gender and emotion by analysing twenty-two in-depth, one-to-o...
