Thank you for all the accolades gentlemen. As per your response Mr. Frozen, I appreciate the critical lens into the biological necessity of our species. Let me remind you guys however, that I am well past the minority in how I voice my opinions. I do not speak for a lot of women because my point of view is very atypical and can even be seen as offensive. But I do stay true to my word in a rather blunt fashion. I think everyone is responsible for their lifestyle and morale. Perhaps I am not the right person to vocalize my dismay towards "feminism" because I think it's contrived and I do have some level of bias.

"I wouldn't put the blame on feminism regarding the separate attitudes between the sexes, but rather our basic human nature. In most species, the male competes with other males to mate with a female. Females are almost always the ones that are always guaranteed a mate and as a result, they just hang back and let the males do their thing. If a male proves to be "better" than the other males, the female still usually has the ability to choose if she wants that male to mate with her or not. With of my favorite creatures, the cuttlefish, the females have an ability to make with many males and choose which sperm can impregnate her. The wonderful thing is that she usually picks the male who outsmarts the other males over the males who fight each other... more on how that relates to humans later. There are a few species out there where the females compete for males (hyenas being one)..."
I genuinely enjoyed reading that, as I am quite partial to emperor penguins myself. I admire how they work together to raise their offspring, taking turns to fish, and skipping each other in queues/lines to take showers under ice-cold runoff. Remarkably selfish and comical little creatures. But romantic too, as they do maintain loving, nurturing, and monogamous relationships throughout their entire lives. It would be foolish to think that all of civilization should live like this, but none of us are responsible for the lifestyle choices people make or desire.

The bonobo-type matriarchy is actually seen in human matriarchal societies, such as the Mosuo. Women keep the family land, and have rights over land, etc but many of them do not know who the father of their child is. However, that carries no stigma for them as men literally have no responsibilities and pretty much conserve most of their energy for having sex.."
In Fyodor Dostoevsky's
Brother's Karamazov, in one of his most notoriously argued phrases (depending on whether or not you've gotten a bad translation) "Without God, everything is permissible." That is not to say that I frown upon the fringes of society or covet the most upstanding of all citizens, but it literally means exactly this. Society will always do as it very well pleases, crime will always be the scourge of civilization, evil will always juxtapose the sanctified. Man or woman, I still won't detract from my viewpoint.
Now as much as I am a statistical anomaly in my career path, I do maintain traditional values in some ways, but I do not go out of my way to tell a friend or colleague that she is a prostitute if she beds some anonymous bar patron. The same applies for my male friends. People will do what they want to do no matter what you say, how many STDs they obtain, or how much you advise them to bend to your will. It is ultimately up to them, and that's the issue with feminism. They use it as a ploy to say that it is
your responsibility as a man to appease their cause and pay for their child support, their new handbag, or to pay the rent. And if they are marginally successful and you are unemployed, you are viewed as some scraggly derelict with no future. Sad but true.
As far as natural selection is concerned, I agree yet again. It would be quite dishonest to say that I do not attribute attraction as both a mental and physical concept. As much as I admire the beloved Joseph Carey Merrick (or John Merrick), I highly doubt it plausible for any woman to have a bountiful sexual relationship with this man, despite his wonderful talent and compassionate soul. I say this not to be cruel, but to create an understanding of how attraction and sexuality works-- whether it is to satiate a lustful whim or carry on our species. Even Hitler at one time had something to offer to this world that could have been beautiful; but his abhorrent, vile philosophies defeated all of which he aspired to be.
