RT @SexyIsntSexist: @truepeers Behavior came first. Then words. Human s are largely exogenous species which means women leave family group…

Yes. I have to do more work on this subject. But, yes, you are correct, in that it does match female behavior. In particular, the feminine cognitive bias presuming a world of “fixed pies”, and where females seek to repress rival’s reproduction – even among closest friends. ie: the notorious observation of recommending bad hairstyles (leave them behind), or the fact that the most influential motivator to bear children is friend circle reproduction (being left behind). So the economic asymmetry of the sexes in the 20s, the social media incentive to ‘selection spiral’, combined with these two factors of leaving behind and absence of fear of being left behind, are mutually contributing to the current crisis.

I should add your book to the Institute’s reading list. And thank you for this pointer so that I can assist in promoting the concept.

Again, thank you for your work.

Just to flip it around, try the same test on men with greens.

Fascinating.
