The literature of great life has the result that we must assume as a result of anime women's example and their accompanying behavior. The story of Porter is no exception. The just argument about projection of an unconscious female image is that much theory. Even so, if consciousness is so good, by being keenly aware of what men and women need, it is possible to actually prevent tragedy like the characters of "Maria Concepcion".
