Why does a male child, even at a young age, identify love with taboos

Even at a young age, a male child identifies love with taboos. He considers his mother and sisters as different from him because they are not him; yet they hold another level of otherness because they are also not like his father. In that manner, they are twice removed from the male child and his growing understanding of himself. In protecting their modesty and establishing gender differences in daily life, those women and girls build a sense of taboo in the child. Naturally that carries over into his adult life, and affects all of his decisions about romantic love.
