So you're agreeing that EP is filled with junk science? People have been eating up this particularly egregious junk science for nearly 75 years and it's still a bedrock assertion of EP.

Spiders, just like fruit flies, are not remotely analogous to humans. Let's look at primates, let's look at actual human beings. How spiders mate has no relevance whatsoever to how humans do. And most scientists who study mating agree that there is no one single strategy that humans universally use. Pretending that there is and that it's the same one our patriarchal culture has held for a couple thousand years max, is just kind of pathetic and full of bunk.
