OK. HARD QUESTION: IS FEMININITY STILL EVOLUTIONARILY USEFUL?
Now, we enjoy femininity like we enjoy a drug for goodness sakes – despite that at scale it’s devastating.
The question is, given that the empathizing and neuroticism that produce it, can be genetically ameliorated, so that we would have a much higher chance of sane, rational, practical conservative women that bypassed the ‘crazy’ stage and more easily graduated to the rational responsibility of motherhood, society, and polity without the need for having three or more children to force it into their behavior by stressful means
So is femininity really evolutionarily useful? I mean, we domesticated masculinity by trading aggression for impulse regulation and agency, why isn’t it at this point necessary to domesticate women out of solipsism, hyper attention seeking, hyperconsumption, hypergamy as well? I mean, fathers ARE better parents. So other than the sexual attractiveness … the aesthetics of femininity … why is it not, at least at this stage of human development, an evolutionary defect needing continuation of domestication syndrome?
No, this is actually a fairly serious question that is worth pondering for at least months if not years.
