the farther you go back in time, the more stuff you 'll find.

but to give you an example

>Poetry from this school is also marked by adoration of the human form, incorporating vivid descriptions of female beauty and frequently comparing the desired woman to a creature from paradise. The woman is described as an 'angel' or as 'a bridge to God'. Rather than being material in nature, the 'Love' of the Dolce Stil Novo is a sort of 'Divine Love'.

Liberty or Equality by Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn talks about gender roles, fatherhood and erotic, among other things. That's just a peripheral issue and the book is quite long, but if you're also looking for some political philosophy and history at the same time, you might want to give it a try.

Alternatively, I could upload the relevant pages somewhere if you want, without all the other stuff around it.

Another book I know that talks about something like that is A Short History of Man. It provides an anthropological perspective on why female infidelity is seen as worse, for example.

I forgot: Lockes First Treatise is one long critique on the idea that God granted dominion to fatherhood and that kingship followed from it. Along the way, he talks about what the Bible says on the roles of mother and father.
