    Fr. A male friend of mine got into make up. Nail polish and such. I notice men who do this, stick to safe black. I asked if he wanted more colour, and he did. I remember cracking being a thing back in 2008 or so. A great caviat to go from just black, to black with colour! Perhaps men could bring this back into fashion lol

    This is a perfect description of the male and female meta. It is why males are stronger. Not to protect or lead, but to control through fear and violence.

    It’s a priviledge men developed a higher sensitivity to oxytocin to compensate for a lower expression of the stuff. Enabling men to give a damn about someone other than their desire to dominate. Men can love their partner, their family, friends, their pets because of this.

    Chimps ain’t that lucky, and males would rather watch an orphan die from neglect (and eat it) than take care of it. The males are known to kill females for showing assertive behaviour.

    Same goes for prolactin in the brain, that makes humans more monogamous and increases a desire to protect something you care about. It never was a male feature before, but it became one in humans. It even peaks after the baby is born and the father is exposed to seeing his baby. Over time, similar adaptations to the brains of pregnant women, are seen in father’s brains. Which is amazing.

    Men ain’t that bad, but old habits die hard. Men are more aggressive, stronger, more impulsive and less afraid of consequences on average compared to women. Those who were better at avoiding male aggression, lived longer. Hence why estrogens play a role in stimulating brain development in areas essential to risk assesment, consequence sensitivity, resistance to suicide, thinking ahead, planning, reading emotions (of themselves and others), learning and memory, reducing own aggression, communication and impulse control. Giving women an edge in academical performance despite there not being a statistical difference in intelligence. (Imagine if men had these boons instead…)

    While all those obvious “big scary male” traits in men makes them seem like a bigger threat, women are well equipped and know how to dominate and eliminate people indirectly.

    If anything, it is just nature. We are all related. Every fish swimming in the sea, every herb you add to your food, every bone in the ground. We are all related, and we all follow the same rules. Determined by limited resources.








  • Not morality. Evolution. Morality came forth from it.

    Our babies are expensive, and genetic diversity is valuable. So monogamy was better than 1 male and a harem. Men killing other men for threatning their child was a bonus. Thanks prolactin for angry papa’s. Basically momma bear mode, but with more muscle.

    Plus, maternal death rate was too high to afford males killing our population growth. Thankfully, men took care of their infants together with wet nurses (men and their useless tits!). And women have a break on population growth. Making 2 children reach adulthood defines the amount of children women want. Had we kept this up, we’d be more succesful than panda’s! Those fucks won at life.

    As for the list on males being dope. It’s much longer than you’d think. Especially in birds and lots of fish. Some frogs have involved parents too. Which is impressive considering their cognitive abilities are influenced by temperature! It’s just not common in mammals.


  • And horses, most zebra species, elephants and elephant seals (by crushing the newborn. You have to see those 4tonne blubberfucks run at a female who just gave birth. It is glorious), rats, mice and many other rodents.

    Some bears. Black or grizzly bear if I remember right, kills 14 cubs a year on average. They then stalk the female till she ovulates, mate and move on to the next target.

    Primates in general. Mandril alpha’s sometimes kill their own out of aggitation. Chimps cannibalize orphans if the mother dies/gets killed. Sometimes female chimps are killed for being too assertive, or struggling back too much when males force mating.

    Cats and tigers kill their own because they can’t discern nor care about decerning whose cubs they are.

    Kangoroo’s don’t kill joeys per se, but they choke the female to death sometimes. Really just because they are as horny as they are aggressive. Females are always pregnant. When their pouch is already occupied, the embryo goes into diapause. Slowing down its development. A queue for the pouch if you will.

    It’s only useful to the male. But energywise, it is detrimental for the female and the species as a whole.

    In other words. Men are fucking awesome. We are much more like birds in our reproductove strategies. We form a partnership, and work together. Men and women developed ways to cooperate together. That’s awesome. It’s just that the chances of unwanted behaviours, come from “old habits die hard.”


  • The ability to not spend energy on reproduction and force mating with those who can. That’s why males are stronger, often larger and generally more aggressive and more domineering. It’s also why men are percieved as more intelligient and competent. Relative bodysize is what triggers the increased respect. After all, you shouldn’t piss off the largest, more aggressive male.

    It’s the male meta. It’s more based on individual success rather than a benefit for a species. When a male is too “successful” it becomes beneficial for there to be a high turn-over rate. All to avoid too many siblings and subsequent incest.

    Humans basically said F this. Women(or some female homonid) started killing their own offspring to avoid caring 15 years for a child they did not want to invest in. Embryonic wasting (menstruation) furthered this process. It’s why in most primates, the males commit the most infanticides. Humans are an exception. Infanticide is almost exclusively done by women. Usually postpartum related issues.

    Monogamy became a thing as a result. Which subsequently decreased both male-male competition and female-female competition.

    We invested in expensive brains at the cost of women’s lives. Which resulted in men also developing paternal instinct as well as the ability to give a damn and bond with something. Something that is far too rare in nature. Men who gave a damn about their offspring, took care of them. It became more a team effort. An interesting example is prolactin expression when exposed to their newborn, causing adaptations in the brain seen in pregnant women too. Another example is increased sensitivity to oxytocin. Allowing men to bond with their partner, people and pets! Males express less oxytocin in the brain, but human men simply adapted their sensitivity to it.

    Agreed. A friend of mine is a veteran, and did something that he regrets every day of his life. Guilt’s been eating the guy. He told some people, and they cut off contact with him. Which he understands and agrees with. He told me too, and yet I can’t blame him for doing something objectively wrong.
