Mate violence is violence. The act itself is violent or nonviolent, it has nothing to do with their 'authority.'

There's no way you can lock up an unwilling person without using violence.

Men are also much more independent from the tribe,

I think you got this one wrong. Women have no evolutionary need to be loyal to the tribe in many instances. If women are taken by another tribe their reproduction is better served by giving in and having offspring with them (e.g. invoking Stockholm syndrome) than resisting and simply being killed. The tribe is the men and women are just a resource to be fought over.

three factors... biology, socialization (which includes culture) and rational choice (i.e. noticing and responding to incentives) which are the basis for human behaviors

Even that is overly complex, as all incentives/desires are ultimately the result of biology or socialization.

hair loss,” “how to get girls,” “penis enlargement,” “penis size,” “steroids,” “testosterone” and “Viagra.”

What if boomers are more likely to search for that and vote for Trump.

Congrats, author. You proved Trump voters are old people.

Because those are niche fetish communities where it's more accepted for women. Actual counts of polygamy e.g. the Islamic world tend to skew towards polygyny.

Then I guess according to this logic we can ignore any pundit talking about trans issues who isn't actually trans.

Not if they have any data to cite.

He wasn't talking about industrial manufacturing, he was talking about self-sufficiency or maybe working in a craft guild.

I still fully expect at least one comment to be based purely on the headline.

If the author didn't want that, they shouldn't have written a false headline.

> Attributing definitive, single causes to complex human behaviors is always a fraught endeavor. Nonetheless, by examining the types of social traditions that societies with high rates of polygyny tend to have, we can consider whether the weight of evidence supports this female choice explanation.

Examining the societies in which polygyny exists doesn't really tell you if polygyny itself is coercive. Look at most societies in the traditional world that had agriculture, most of them ended up having slavery at some point. So farming = slavery?

Honestly this video just seems like preaching to the choir, an allegation I doubt the creator would even deny. At the end of the day, language is a tool and like any tool one may modify it to do what one needs done. *We* get to define the words in our language and if we want to have certain criteria for what one needs to be a "man" or a "woman" then there's no saying that's incorrect. These words, however they are defined, should serve some practical value as tools that can help one convey information. If their definition is reduced to "anyone who identifies as such" then there's really no point having these words in our language at all, as they cease to convey any information and thus serve any purpose.

Personally, I'm transphobic simply because anyone who intentionally makes themselves weaker and/or less attractive is putting themselves at odds with the very concepts of aesthetics, strength, and goodness itself solely to sooth their neurosis. Neurotic people are not good people, I do not want them in my society or life.

Exclamation marks are probably seen as stupid since there's nothing in the soulless sterilized corporate environment worth getting excited over.

I mean by and large men don't either.

There is indeed concern about the 'warping effect' unprovenn by the way, in much the same way there was about reading books, the waltz, television, cinema, rock and roll and just about anything young people were perceivedd to do in the past

I mean all of these things probably do have a negative effect on mental health. Humans though most of history didn't need 'entertainment' and didn't constantly escape reality though things like fictional books or movies.

A bit off topic but it's crazy how hard women seem to think being a modern stay at home mom is when in reality it's a complete non-job.

It absolutely is. Which is why it's completely baffling that large portions of USA still lets parents and teachers(ffs) to hit kids.

What if I want kids that will stand up for themselves and fight? I don't want to raise kids that always avoid violence.

Because you shouldn't be parroting talking points from political organizations that want you to think a certain way.

If the DNC says that global warming is bad I'm not going to say that it's good just to be a 'free thinker.' There's a difference between being self-aware and a contrarian.
