We have moved beyond mere instinct.

In my experience, most people--especially when they get past a certain age, move beyond extolling merely the "Alpha" members of our species.


This is where we disagree completely. It's not a conscious process. Instincts control our behaviour at a sub conscious level, it is not something you can simply rise above completely by thinking a certain way.

I think this where people misinterpret what I am saying. Because it seems like people here think, that I think, that women are consciously evil and it's all a big conspiracy. That's not what I think. I am saying that women(and men)are driven by instincts they for the most part don't even understand or recognize, let alone control.

If it wasn't natural in humans then explain this: why men are taller and stronger than females?

Who claimed humans were monogamous? Oh that's right, again, society. i.e. social construct.



Yes, but you were implying that humans were naturally two-ways polygamous (hence why your bonobo reference), this is not true; human's ancient mating systems leaned to polygyny more than to polyandry. And polygyny system = alpha male system.

No, I'm claiming humans are individuals and there's more to mating preference than any of the labels presented here, the labels are merely social constructs to validate a pre-existing belief.

Everything I don't like is a social construct, or a nazi, whichever on any given day.

Ascribing characteristics to a person because of skin color is a social construct, and a false one at that.

So black people are not generally better at basketball than white people?

I think maybe a very tall white guy may actually be better than a very short black guy.

^ It depends on the person's situation but there's certainly a gender bias of life easiness depending on the situation.

-Life of single non-taken man is as hard as non-taken woman, none has the advantage.

-Life of a poor woman is as hard as life of a poor man.

-Life of a working mother is typically harder than the life of her working husband; for the reason that most of the childbearing related tasks fall on her, and many men are too lazy or even unskilled (in that area due to how they got raised) to do most of the housework.

-A wealthy woman (ie. head of business, not the same as wife of a wealthy man) doesn't have it easier than of a wealthy man.

Now here are life situations that may look (significantly) easier for women:
-Childless women who are totally depending on their men financially, like housewives and housegfs, yes, it's an easy life that consists only of house shores and cooking (a working single person would have to do them too). The houehusband role is almost non existent and still very socially unacceptable (even in the 1st/2nd World).

-Women who live as stay at home mom (No, it's not "the hardest job in the world", not at all, this title should go to the full-time WORKING mother), this writer explains it best and I agree with her:
http://theweek.com/articles/684153/yes- ... -job-world
Maybe they have it as hard as (or as easy as) their husbands' life, depending on the husbands' job but certainly not harder.

- The life of rich man's housewife has the optimum easiness in life, she doesn't do any house shores (ie. maids, nannies..etc), and her life is certainly by far easier than her husband who has to work and maintain his wealth most of his life. I strongly believe that the housewives of wealthy men have the easiest life among all the human kind.


Poor women can date up and thus have more options then poor men, they may even escape poverty this way.

I don't think black people are innately better at basketball than white people.

In the US, the average black person is actually a bit shorter than the average white person.

But I don't think it's a coincidence that the majority of NBA players are black - despite them being a minority of the general population.

Basketball has become more of a part of the culture of the US "inner city" than either baseball and football.

It's similar to "association football," also known as "soccer" in Brazil. It's a similar sort of obsession.

+1. Learned behavior > genetics.

edit: take Kobe Bryant (not a fan btw), you think he was good just because he's black, or because he spent four hours on the court every day even in the off season when all his competitors were on vacation?

Just to give you a brief explanation on bonobos evolution, I think it's a story I've watched or read somewhere but you can search it yourself:
Bonobos and Common chimps evolved from a common ancestor, the common ancestor was probably socially closer to the common chimps today than to bonobo (patriarchal).

The area where the ancestors of bonobos lived, went into a lengthened period of drought, for some reason this brought death to the ancestors of gorillas who couldn't adapt to this climate change; yet this brought peace to the 'ancient' chimps living there, chimps and gorillas were always in a state of 'war' over resources. The absence of the gorillas means that the male aggression/dominance in chimps is no longer evolutionary advantageous and other traits became advantageous and may got naturally selected instead in the newer situation (ie. such as niceness and willing to help others during the drought) this shaped them over the years into what we know as bonobos today.

Now, if we look at humans and their ancestors, there's no evidence that humans went through a such peaceful and non-warring long period of time, that would be possible if the ancestors of 'humans' evolved at a certain phase in a narrow geographical area isolated from dangerous species and all living together in harmony (no tribal, no warring, like in the case of bonobos) before becoming homo sapiens. (because studies show that homo sapiens were an ever expanding species geographically).

The history of the homo sapiens though doesn't reflect a peaceful nature of humans though, especially male humans, the 'fighter class' of ancient human tribes were often males, armies were mostly males.

In fact, our facial structure are more 'fighting equipped' than those of the chimps and bonobos today.
