Greg Swann has been around here a few times and most recently, featured weekly, chapter-by-chapter for his book Man Alive! Last week, Greg and I presented back-to-back at The 21 Convention.
As always with guests posts, views expressed are the views of the guest author and not necessarily my views. Men and women are functionally equivalent, in the sense that, away from our sex differences, we can all do pretty much the same stuff. We are intellectually equivalent, even if the vestigial effects of poverty, religion and tradition have cost humanity the full benefits of female mental prowess over the centuries.
We are politically equivalent, obviously. There are biological differences that result from our sex differences β men tend to have better upper-body strength, women have better blood circulation at the core but poorer circulation in the extremities β but apart from those sex differences, we are an awful lot alike.
That much is not surprising. We are the same species after all, and the XY model is just the one-off variation on the XX prototype.
This is true of male mammals in general β except for the pride part. But because males β male mammals, not just male Homo sapiens β are seed-sprayers, their reproduction strategy will be different from that of the egg-laying females. Human beings are thoughtful creatures. For now I am am talking about thoughtless biological reproduction strategies, but in no way am I excusing human beings for behaving like thoughtless animals.
