Conservatism Explained Via Evolutionary Psychology

Post Reply New Topic

When it gets in to the hands of the public, a lot of people weaponize it, much as they do to the concept of IQs for example. It's unfortunate but such individuals will craft weapons out of what they can.

Agreed.

And, as women, we're expected to tip-toe around male egos.

Possibly but I'm not very good at it. I'm not very good with sensitive people in general. Some guys have expectations of me for being female that I can't meet in that they expect me to be as delicate with them as their mothers.
Nope, can't do. I'm polite and I am not oblivious to the fact that others have feelings but I'm not their mother.

You are well grounded...
Level-headed...
Rational rather than emotional...
Probably has a lot to do with you being on the spectrum...



You mean *NT* male egos...

Thank you.

I think there are at least two gross oversimplifications right there, and I'm not sure who came up with them, but it's hardly evolutionary psychology's fault.

First, just because you choose the suitor you believe is fittest, consciously or not, doesn't mean you don't love him. It just means love has to be earned, fighting to the death if there's no better way to get it through a lesser male's thick skull that he has no business approaching females and bothering them with his inferior genes. Therefore, if a weak male managed to deceive a female into loving him, it makes perfect sense for her love to be shattered when a stronger male finally comes along to put him in his place, helping her see him for the complete waste of oxygen he is.

Second, you called the stronger male a murderer, but that's not the classical meaning of this word. Murder is what you call a wrongful, cowardly killing. An honorable killing, like defeating someone in a duel, is not murder; it's an act of justice.

It's not evo psych's "fault" because evo psych is not a conscious entity.

It's the fault of people who attempt to impose their sh_tty, half-a$$ed interpretations of the natural world on human society.

I haven't seen anything like that on Wrong Planet ever. That sounds more like something MGTOW youtubers would pull out of their butt. The people in that "movement" are extremely bitter to the point of being deranged.

On this forum, women are expected to admit our problems aren't as "valid" as male problems, and that we should be grateful for sexual harassment because "at least we're getting attention!"

So, no, it's not just NT males.

I know.

I'm just presenting one facet of "evo psych" that demonstrates what utter bullplop it is.

I bow to your greater experience...
Errrm...<bow>

This is disappointing but informative...
Would you say, however, that the macho-bulldust is less prevalent in autistic males?
And how much do you attribute this nonsense to social conditioning?
Can these incalcitrant auties be rehabilitated through councilling?
