the primary female strategy, the taming of the male
    #13800488 - 01/17/11 01:44 AM (13 years, 1 month ago)

Quote:

Our great civilizations are nothing more than social machines to create the ideal female setting, where a woman can count on stability; our legal and moral codes that try to abolish violence and promote permanence of ownership and enforce contracts-those represent the primary female strategy, the taming of the male.

And the tribes of the wandering barbarians outside the reach of civilization, those follow the mainly male strategy. Spread the seed. Within the tribe, the strongest, most dominant males take possession of the best females, either through formal polygamy or spur-of-the-moment copulations that the other males are powerless to resist. But those low-status males are kept in line because the leaders take them to war and let them rape and pillage theirs brains out when they win a victory. They act out sexual desirability by proving themselves in combat, and then kill all the rival males and copulate with their widowed females when they win. Hideous, monstrous behavior-but also a viable acting-out of the genetic strategy.

Kind of reminds me of Lions.

Anyway this is how nature goes about doing it's thing while we're busy pretending something else.
