When Men Behave Badly—A Review. Researchers found an association between mens chosen targets and women’s self-reported frequency of having been sexually victimized in the past. This suggests that women suffering from unwanted sexual encounters inadvertently emit cues that predatory males can detect.

I think you have a very weird view of what feminism is and how women react to things.

I think he has a very reasonable expectation that mainstream feminists and possibly most women share a belief that women should not take any responsibility in phenomena like workplace “sexual harassment” or date rape scenarios. I believe a lot of these instances are in fact not crimes and perhaps not even unethical behaviors.

Why would any actual feminist be angry and try to cencor a scientist who has studied for years why men and women act the way they do?

Because any evolutionary biologist bringing the facts about male female interactions from a neutral scientific perspective will completely undermine the core tenets of the feminist movement. Not just 3rd wave trans affirming feminism. The whole enchilada. Which is a loss of political power for feminists. Feminists do not demand equal treatment, they demand special indulgences for women.

There’s no reason to expect earning power to be equal between men and women because males are far more economically productive. They evolved that way. Any society that encourages women to be economically independent of men and not have children is doomed to collapse.

Women who claim that they should be able to wear sexy or body flattering outfits to the office and expect no “sexual harassment” (e.g. “You look hot today” or “Lets go out, can I have your number” ) are absurd. If you do not want sexual attention, it is your responsibilty to present yourself in a more subdued professional way.

Women use their sex all the time to get special considerations that would never be given to males. Feminism is just one of those strategies.

I wore a plain, non-sheer t-shirt to my doctor's appointment last week. A shirt that by nature of having large breasts stretched at that particular area. My doctor looked directly at them no less than 5 times. It didn't require sexy attire for him to very obviously ogle my boobs (quite the opposite), and it doesn't require sexy attire to be sexually harassed.

So I guess I feel like, why should you have the expectation of not having anyone look at your boobs?

We are beginning to police which direction the eyeballs in peoples heads are pointing. Was this really an assualt? A psychologically abusive experience? Or a minor annoyance? Men are biologically programmed to look at boobs.

At what point did women come to expect that it was their right never to have a man oogle their boobs except for the exact moment women deemed it okay? This is nuts.

If you are a child or a mentally child-like adult, maybe you should have this consideration. But if you believe you are an equal of men psychologically then a look is nothing.

I am asking you to disregard some of the notions we were trained with, that any sexual signals from men are somehow a violation and that all these scenarios demand policing.

Muslims solve this problem by never allowing females to be alone with strange men. They have females hide their entire form under sheets. They feel women are like children that can’t be trusted not to be manipulated by strange men. They don’t expect women to be responsilble for their own sexual behavior. They just keep them on lockdown.

We got rid of monogamy and a lot of the old rules that would have prevented some of the sexual conflicts we see now. Women —feminists— demand explicitly that they be treated equally, but in reality they are expecting implicitly special privileged treatment. Men are held to Victorian sexual standards while women are not held to any standards at all. Its madness.

Islam is right about females :)

I actually don’t agree.

The polygamous “package” of societal traits is a shit show IMO.
