It wasn't as common as she is implying. It actually was fairly rare and only in some societies.

Actually you would be wrong. Many animals prefer to mate with those proven capable of successfully birthing children, prefer to mate with the strongest alpha male, prefer to mate with the female with the finest hips and fur.

Bring up some reading comprehension and you will see I don't WANT it to be true, I want it to not be automatically shot down.

Yet those Bonobo social relationships have a hierarchy of their own that didn't arise out of magic.

When did I say people weren't allowed to disagree or present other theories? First off I am not even asserting that this is entirely or even partly instinctual. I am just noticing it seems to mimic certain reproductively beneficial behaviors and I am asking if perhaps we can see how EvPsych plays a role if at all.

I am fully aware of the problems with evo-psych as it has been used, but there is nothing inherently wrong with the idea of our social systems being driven partially by instinctual desires.

That is an excellent point, however animals and humans (for the most part) aren't aware of such things or let them determine who they mate with. For animals that has to come from selective pressures, and during actual mating there is not necessarily a way of knowing that a female has successfully bore children. Only…

That was not universally true across cultures at all from what I know, but I am curious to read more about it (links?). Not even sure it was a majority behavior considering how many examples there are throughout history where that wouldn't be acceptable. What then threw the switch that changed us from instinctual to…

Except that in society women (stereotypically, on average, in general, insert PC word here) don't have an issue with men being "slutty".

This is absolutely true.

So it's okay when Evolutionary Psychology is used to explain female behavior towards men, but as soon as it is suggested as possibly being partially behind male behavior towards women I'm torn a new asshole.

Read the rest of the Reddit post.

If he wished that why does he keep retweeting stuff and bragging about it?

Brave of him? Jezebel conveniently left out his Tweets bragging about not missing a beat afterwards.

You are putting the carriage before the horse.

Do you not see what you are doing?

Except you are not seeing through bullshit, you are building a straw man to knock down.

Right, but we didn't even used to live long enough for that to be an issue. Girls used to get pregnant at 15-16 (not even that long ago).

Way to put words in my mouth, another typical response found here.

I'm conflicted.
