From my cultural studies days I can imagine some QT people eye evobiologists askance because there is a strong tendency among them to ascribe social roles to biology, thereby conveniently reinforcing the sexist status quo ("it's natural for men to be attracted to young fertile women! Females are small so they need protection inside the home!")

Nonetheless biology IS biology.

Isn't that more of evolutionary psychology field?
