and a final note
I have lately been realizing a lot of my arguments in the case of feminist theory are…essentially arguments from ignorance.
That is, I have read shockingly little feminist literature but…I guess primary authors?
What I mean is, if I was an evolutionary biologist, my arguments for feminism are like those of someone who just reads blogs about evolutionary biology and doesn’t...

a short bit on what I just posted

Rambling about culture and evolution
Right.
There are two disclaimers here that are important: One, I am heavily biased here. Two, it is very difficult to make a statement that holds true 100% of the time in the biological sciences. This second one is important, as it shows how amazing Darwin’s idea of descent with modification was- this is possibly the only thing in biology that is universally true.
This is basically a...
