    That’s an interesting thought excercise.

    I’m not sure patriarchy has much to do with biology, I think it was just luck of the draw.

      I’m pretty sure it originally boiled down to “I’m bigger than you. Do what I say or I’ll hurt you”, for millennia.

        I read a pretty compelling hypothesis that in ancient times the makeup of your military determines the culture, because they have the training and weapons to coup if they want something.

        Female majority militaries died out because women of military age are simply less disposable than men of military age. You can’t effectively repopulate with an 80% male population, for example.

        This means natural selection applied to tribes means you’re going to be left with almost exclusively male dominated militaries, which will very likely at some point decide they want more power.

        In terms of the “man strong” thing, the average male is stronger than the average female, but is not really a huge factor when you’re selecting for the strongest across a large enough population.

          That’s a pretty interesting theory. Thank you for sharing it.

          The average man is stronger than women in the top 5th percentile though

        Yup. Men strong, Woman weak is how it started.

            Feel free to educate everyone on what you’ve learned while getting your masters, some guy.

            Or just continue to be a weak troll.

              I’m not the one pretending to be an expert.

              Want to share your credentials? I’m sure you wouldn’t just post this uninformed hot take without any research or knowledge about the subject at all, right?

              Right?

                Continue being a weak troll it is, then.

                  Whatever you gotta say to keep spouting lies I guess.

                  It’s fucking wild youd make a statement like that and have nothing at all to back it up, then call me the troll. That must just be your defense tactic when your BS gets called out I guess.

                  “Me wrong? No you’re a troll! Troll!”

                  👍

      You say while using a word that is gendered based off of biology…
