So, Scientific American and Science, and the guy who is the anthropologist/primatologist who runs the Jane Goodall Primate Center, to name just a few of the scientific sources I’ve used say the same things. In fact, that's where I learned it from, but when I base my views on what they say the science is, it's a "feminist mindset"? Again, do you even hear yourself?
You are THE most unscientific scientist I've ever come across. You repeatedly believe what feels right to you and what you "know" based on cultural fairytales that feel good to you but are flat out wrong. But you don't care, when demonstrated how scientifically off base they are, you continue to cling to them anyhow because you want the world to be the way it feels right to you (even though there’s no actual scientific evidence of it). It's unbelievable!
And are you actually saying that you don't believe in equality because men and women aren't equal? Because there's all sorts of evidence that this isn't how early humans thought at all. Inequality of any sort is a function of patriarchy - and therefore is only about 6-8k years old.
And why are you still bought into propaganda that Darwin never said, nor meant? And why the fuck are you so hung up on women becoming the "ruling class" when there is nobody in the world working towards that? Is that the real issue - that you can't conceive of a world where somebody isn't dominating somebody else so you assume that's what women want is to dominate men? 🤦♀️ What a mess . . .
These ideas about competition, however, were not actually introduced by Darwin, but rather by Darwinists who tried to expand his ideas to a kind of hypercompetitive evolutionary biology in order to justify laissez-faire economic policies, liberalism, imperialism, and eugenics. The anarchist Pyotr Kropotkin wrote Mutual Aid in 1902 as a response to these hypercompetitive interpretations, reacting to the assumption that nature is ultimately constitutive of “selfish” actors.2 Much later, David Graeber and Andrej Grubačić argued that the focus on competition in evolution was “an attempt to catapult the view of the commercial classes into universality.”3
Scientists are returning to the idea that cooperative behavior is both prevalent and diverse, which goes beyond the boundaries of genetic familiality—animals cooperate among kin and strangers alike, or even across different species and forms of life.4 Cooperative behavior can take on many forms. It can be aggressive (e.g., when individuals coordinate territorial defense), sexual (egg trading in simultaneously hermaphroditic coral-reef fishes), associated with parental investment (food provisioning by parents5), or even related to foraging (joint hunting). Moreover, these behaviors may be directed to a mate or a third party, and may be seen individually or collectively.
