      “But women are biologically weaker than men” and other irrelevant and rarely applicable distinctions men tell themselves to protect their “strong man” egos.

    • Evolutionary psychology in general? Excluding how the people in the image are using it, of course. Unless I’m misunderstanding the term, it seems reasonable to consider evolution (and any other biological factors) as part of psychological analyses, from a materialist perspective

        I get where that thought comes from, as we have evolved psychologically and physically. The problem with the practice of Evolutionary Psychology is it’s used in a way that tries to define human behaviour based on what our ancestors did/how they behaved in the before-times rather than how we evolved into a much more complicated and nuanced species.

        This is usually done in a Darwinist-esque fashion to explain why women like certain traits or even behaviours because of the way we evolved. It’s almost like incel logic; bone structure and other ChadTM traits are peak evolution and women are psychologically wired to flock to said Chads. Hope that makes sense. There are way more detailed papers on the subject than what I can explain here. Definitely worth a look on Google Scholar.

    All I know is that hetero women are attracted to men and what those men do seems to be irrelevant

          Before I started to transition I had the same, one taxi driver was like:

          “do you not feel embarrassed that you’re meant to support your family and your gf does it instead? You’re a man, that’s pathetic.”

          I was like having non of this pigs bs at this point and had a few so started intentionally trying to wind him up. It was something like:

          “lmao wtf are you talking about, do you support your family? Why you here in a pub being a misogynist when you could be at home helping your wife with the kids or taking some of the burden off the regressive relationship dynamic you’ve forced on her? Surely your carcass can help around the house or is that beneath you, don’t wanna relationship with your kids or is that a woman’s job too? Looks like I support my partner better than you do yours really since I help round the house and allow her to work in her career and earn more while also working myself and contributing. She got a pay rise the other week, how much do you earn barely driving a cab and chatting shit in pubs? Oh shame my partner earns double that, do you not feel bad that you are meant to support your family but my gf earns more than you? Is that not embarrassing for you to have someone half your age and female make you look like the simple untalented bigot you are? Sorry did I use big words? Ape man do nothing, is waste of space at home so drinks alone”

          It wasn’t my most well constructed or articulated argument and in hindsight i shouldnt have insulted his income but frankly i didnt care at the time. I was struggling wkth repression and coming out so the comments he made not only set me off but the sexist shit this guy said was beyond acceptable. I just wanted to upset and insult this buffoon the way he’d upset my partner with his sexist bs earlier as she was fuming!!

          Anyway he left his mate to drink alone and went home because he was “too angry” lmao and his mate spent the rest of the night drinking with us and chatting about how they are old friends so they stay connected but he’s always found him difficult and bigoted so it’s rare they hang out.

            Sometimes bigots need to hear they are bigots. It’s not the fifties anymore, where men do the work and women are slaves.

            My gf likes to rip people a new one as well when they talk dumb shit about this.

              Sometimes with sexist pigs the only way to get through their ego is to utterly destroy it. I don’t feel bad for it, I’ll do it again 💪 but I do try at least be civil first these days lmao.

              Lmao your gf sounds hella based.
