So where did this whole idea of "women need security and monogamy" get born?
Blakesteele, these bullshit concepts are some of the biggest brainwashing lies on humanity of all time. All these "men need to spread their seed" but "women want monogamy" stupid things.
I have a lot of thoughts on this kind of stuff. we can agree that all this crap is based off of a "what would cavemen/women do" mentality. What did humans - before societal expectations, civilization, consequences - naturally do? Let's break down the lies:
Men need to spread their seed and aren't wired for monogamy - no, it does a man no good to "love em and leave em". In a hostile environment like ancient earth, what good does it do to create children, leave their mothers, go onto create different children, leave THOSE mothers, go on to create more children and so forth? All these children and mothers, left to the sabre tooths to eat and enemy men to take and potential to starve? Makes no sense.
Women need to care for the children through monogamy- why? there could have been benefits to women being nonmonogamous. Sleeping with different men, especially in days where paternity could never be proven, might ensure the protection and resources of several men rather than one. If you screw 3 men in a month, have a baby, and all of those 3 men (remember no way for paternity proof) have to gamble whether to abandon a child that might be theirs. All of them might provide for the child in some way. AND not only the men, but all of their tribe and family might provide for said mother/child, just in case child is his. ( I actually read all this in a 100 yr old anthropology book). Mom now has 3 times the resources and protection, especially if they don't all know about each other.
Men want nonmonogamy and will cheat, women want monogamy and won't cheat - how on earth would this make sense?? I don't care what god or system or whatever you believe in, this makes zero sense. two genders of the same species with COMPLETELY opposing agendas??? wtf This, imo, was created by men to get away with cheating and to keep women in line. I mean, funny, men don't want monogamy but they sure as fuck believe in it when their woman wants to cheat!!???
Monogamy makes total sense. get together, make babies, two parents fight off the sabre tooths and the Neanderthals and gather twice the berries. No sexually transmitted diseases, which probably killed off people by age 20 if you weren't careful back then. Solid knowledge of maternity/paternity of the children to avoid inbreeding within tribes. Children/mother protected everyday, not left literally to the wolves while daddy runs off and bangs hos over in the next mountain.
Loyalty would pay off in other ways as well: no 911 meant you better not have pissed your wife off before you broke your leg in a buffalo hunt and need a nurse.
In short, NOBODY;, men or women, anywhere in the WORLD, throughout ALL TIME, likes to be cheated on!!! So how did anybody ever justify it from some sort of primitive man perspective??? It makes zero sense.
