When men want women on this kind of basic animalistic, just life level, to reproduce. Right? So the most obvious way to distribute women is to give all the women to the strongest man. Right? So you get — reproduce from the strongest person. That’s the way gorillas — many gorillas, silverbacks live. The one guy gets all the girls. And the problem with that is it sounds like a good idea, but it’s unstable because, obviously, all the other guys finally get think to themselves, oh, I know what we’ll do. We’ll get together and we’ll kill the main guy, the alpha guy, and we’ll steal the woman. And that’s why those governments are unstable. That’s how you get Magna Carta where the aristocrats, the most powerful people, go to the king and say, we want power too. That is, kind of, the human way of acting out that gorilla system. Ultimately, other men want women.

When you have a democracy, the best system is monogamy. Right? One per customer. Everybody gets a woman. And it sounds like that means that weak people will be allowed to breed, but it turns out it’s actually a pretty good system because it favors diversity. Because a lot of times, the smartest guy in the room and the strongest guy in the room are two entirely different people. So you want the strongest guy to reproduce, but you also want the smartest guy to reproduce, and that is how humanity advances. In fact, monogamy, one per customer, is a really good basis for a society. However, it goes against the gorilla code, and the gorilla code is written into our DNA.

    Men are stronger. Men are mean. They’re more aggressive. They will take them over. They’ll do it anytime they can, anywhere they can. They will abuse them. They will hurt them.

    I’m surprised a man would admit that he’s like this.

      Conservatives: Men are aggressive and will hurt women.

      Also Conservatives: Why would women choose the bear?

      Are you really? I’m not. He sounds like all the other weirdos who say the same thing. He’s old and quite weird.

      why surprised? republican men think they’re (somehow) all alpha males, somewhere on the spectrum between conan the barbarian and john wick, and it’s not they who have problems, but literally all the women who avoid them like the plague

      They used to be more careful about admitting who they are. Trump broke their brains and they’re all trying to one up each other when it comes to shitty opinions and dumbass hot takes. It’s better when they’re honest though, at least you know which ones to avoid. Which is basically all Republicans.
