Against Human Sexual Selection

For the (historical) record, on my old, original blog I spent a lot of time heaping scorn and verbal abuse on the huge array of “sociobiology,” it’s allegedly more fact-based bastard child “evolutionary psychology,” and the various trolls, MRAs and incels who devour it like flies on shit.

The basic thrust of all these “disciplines” builds down to, basically, explaining why creepers can’t get dates. Usually, the theory always goes, women are feckless gold diggers with strong preferences for racist bugaboos.

My counteragument was always that historically, in, you know, actual capital-P Patriarchy all “sexual selection” took place between… heads of households cutting deals with other heads of households using marriage of offspring and vassals as tokens of exchange.

The studies aggregated in the link above backs up my (fairly well-informed) intuition with academic vigor.

Clue: in 200 “hunter gatherer” societies the average age of marriage for men is roughly age 21. And berate age for “women” girls? 14!🤮

And one of the key determinants for the man’s “reproductive success? marriage selection? His affinity or utility to… the “bride’s” father.

Not a lot of room there for sociobiology’s fetishization of ovulation, semen consumption, preferences for “alph” males or scorn for “betas,” women’s oddity of coming from straight vanilla intercourse, etc.

Glad to see it all laid it more clearly than I ever felt I was able to.

Also fuck that shit. Give me a decent society where women can be CEOs, authors, and scientists instead of getting sidelined as self-cleaning cock sleeves. Update: because if nothing else that kind of society give me, and us, far more, and vastly hotter sex than 10,000 knee-squeezing “alpha male” wannabes and their generally pinched and transaction-oriented Patriarchal ideals could possibly imagine.

(Hint: you think women aren’t interested in stoop-chested MRAs, good luck imagining they’d do better sucking up to theirl fathers back I. The “good old days.” Because ahahahah, yeah, no.
