basics of sexual conflict within species. taught to undergrads who study evolutionary biology everywhere.

note how male is analogous with parasite and predator

‘male trait costly to females’ means males harming females

note how female doesn’t just ‘submit’ to being harmed, but evolves countermeasures. it’s an arms race

but feminists are supposed to ignore this and act like this has no effect on humans.

tiredseaturtle

so, WHY is it like this? from the same basic behavioral ecology lecture:

Why are traits with harmful side effects not selected against, given the shared genetic interest in offspring? Individuals may benefit from harmful effects in other individuals. In a multiple mating situation, or a potential multiple mating situation (most often for mammals, because most mammals are polygynous or promiscuous), MALE benefits from damaging the female now, because then a) the female doesn’t mate again until later, when the damage is repaired, so the male gets the paternity, and b) female reproduces more now.

the male doesn’t benefit from the female having a long & healthy life after their mating, because then the female will mate with other males.

a basic paper about it, pdf

quote:

The idea that natural selection would favor a male that harmed his mate is counterintuitive. After all, reducing the survival or fecundity of a male’s mate would seem to diminish rather than enhance his own reproductive fitness. To see why natural selection can sometimes favor males that harm their mates we need to consider the mating system of the species. If there is lifelong monogamy and random mating, then there is a perfect correlation between the fitness of a male and his mate and the potential for evolutionary conflict between the sexes is absent. But any deviation from this monogamous mating system reduces the correlation for lifetime fitness between a copulating pair, and this generates the potential for intersexual evolutionary conflict and the subsequent evolution of male-induced harm to their mates

(note: lifelong monogamy is extremely rare in mammals, and not even common in birds (though the stereotype is that it is common in birds).)

Tom Wysom, 55, of Ottawa, has been arrested for the possession and distribution of child pornography. When Wysom was arrested, he was found to be in the possession of over 60,000 images deemed to be child pornography, as well as at least 1,625 videos. His IMDB page has him credited as an animator and character builder for 26 episodes of My Little Pony and 23 episodes of Littlest Pet Shop between 2012 an 2015. Wysom pleaded guilty to all charges against him.

Wysom, who was born and raised in Wales, worked there as a postal clerk until 1992 when he moved to Canada. He spent parts of four years hitchhiking across the country before being granted permanent resident status in 1996. His resume states that he studied both fine art and commercial animation, and his work was once exhibited at Ottawa’s Cube Gallery. There was no mention of any degrees attained.

Wysom told the court that he had been watching child pornography as an offshoot of his addiction to adult pornography. His reasoning, as reported by the Ottawa Citizen, was that he had consumed so much “normal” pornography dating back to about a decade ago, that it no longer stimulated him, to the point that he had become desensitized to it and “needed something more.” He then went on to explain that it had been helping him deal with his clinical depression and other unspecified medical issues.

Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Gray performed an assessment of Wysom that concluded he has a “pedophilic disorder.” As the court report shows, Wysom told Dr. Gray that he was dealing with untreated stress issues, and that child pornography was helping him deal with it. The presiding judge, Justice David Berg, was reported to have appeared agitated by Wysom’s explanations, which are hosted in part at Horse News.

Justice Berg decided that Wysom had to have a sentence of at least two years in prison to both pay for his crimes and serve as a deterrent to others like him, despite Dr. Gray stating that he felt Wysom was a low risk to have sexual contact with children or re-offend. Wysom was apprehended as a result of the Ottawa Police Service’s Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICEU) conducting an examination of a P2P network that child pornography was known to pass through. The unit traced his location and uncovered his identity by identifying the real IP address.

“…watching child pornography as an offshoot of his addiction to adult pornography…”

“…he had consumed so much “normal” pornography dating back to about a decade ago, that it no longer stimulated him, to the point that he had become desensitized to it and “needed something more.””

Sick, but unsurprising. This is what I have been talking about forever. Porn, even legal porn with consenting adults, creates monsters like this. It is 100% absolute evil.

i am so so so tired of people ignoring this

porn is a harmful drug

He’ll be out in 2 years and I bet less with good behaviour. People have spent more time in jail for having a gram of weed on them.

We gotta distinguish between things that are devalued/considered lesser because they’re associated with women, and things that are associated with women because they’re actually degrading. For example sewing is a hugely useful skill that is undervalued because over centuries it has come to be associated with women, whereas things like tight dresses and high heels are designated as things for women because they are actually degrading.

Aphrodite: *always depicted as female, with breasts and vulva, goddess of female sexuality, gives birth to several gods and goddesses, is call a GODDESS *

tunglr: male? You have penis? Trans? Penis?

moonbeastess

if they want a male sexuality deity who shared nearly every other characteristic with aphrodite, Eros is right fucking there.

but I guess acknowledging him would require an ounce of intellectual honesty

I was too disgusted when I saw these screenshots in Facebook to not share them.

rad-and-i-dont-stop

This was so horrifying. I’m actually tearing up from how ridiculous and horrible this is.

radicalkittenkaboodle

Yet another entitled man that will never learn his lesson because of other men protecting him from actual consequences.

terfcult

doxx him and harass him like he did to her. someone go kick his ass

What the fuck is wrong with cis people

hellyesbro

UPDATE:

I TOLD HER I WAS A GIRL AND SHE SAID SHE DIDN’T KNOW

MY LAST 3 PROFILE PICTURES HAVE ALL BEEN OF ME IN WOMEN’S CLOTHING AND MAKEUP

WHAT IS WRONG WITH CIS PPL

dashaibo

“Hm, that old acquaintance of mine is cis like 99.7% of the population, knows nothing about being trans or what to do/not to do because they literally have no experience with that one specific rare neurological disorder, but tries to be friendly and polite. Cis people, amirite?”

moonbeastess

this person is actually bending over backwards to be accomodating to op and it's still not fucking enough for him.

I know it’s cool to be anti-trans and call yourself a radfem but you gotta be critical of the less cool topics as well like surrogacy and psychiatry

When will op go outside

d-why-k-e

Lmao proves they don’t care about anyone whose agenda doesn’t align with theirs. Let transmen practice feminism and keep their ties with the lesbian community.

leavingthiswebsitetakecare-deac

This really goes to show the power dynamics in this community lmao

cecaeliawitch

transmen are welcome to women’s spaces if they need/want them, and lesbians can and do date them and have lesbian relationships with them, die mad about it

hideous-amalgam-deactivated2019

Its really funny how self proclaimed “lesbians” just love to lick men’s boots. Idk how I could even be mad about that, its really just kind of pathetic. Have fun sucking up to men, its not my problem at this point just yours. I dont fuck with cis women anymore anyway lol

dyke-fibers

what’s really funny is the fact you, a male, are upset that females have solidarity with each other regardless of gender identity and lesbians will always be females exclusively attracted to other females….but are trying to dress it up as “licking men’s boots” lmaooo

spring-sent

Men can’t stand female solidarity what else is new

Male and female brains aren’t wired differently

New research, published in October in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, concluded that despite size discrepancy, there’s no functional difference between men’s and women’s brains. “Male” brains and “female” brains simply don’t exist. In fact, there’s significant overlap.

rip-deadstarks-xxx-deactivated2

This study had 1400 people in it… Remember that sample size matters. remember this when someone tries to rebuke this with a study that has 80 participants. Be as scientifically literate as possible so that we can debunk this nonsense one step at a time.

Here’s an article that talks about a paper which examined 6000 individuals and came up with similar findings.

nada-mal

Remember how many times we’ve been informed “trans women have the same brains as cis women”? Zhou et al. studied only SIX long-term estrogen treated subjects.

The linked study in ascaloner’s comment looks specifically at hippocampus sizing, which an oft quoted study specific to trans women compared just 24 subjects: “HeW [straight women] had larger hippocampi compared to both HeM [straight men] and MtF-TR [heterosexual trans women], mostly due to the left hippocampus. There was no difference between HeM and MtF-TR,” concluding, “These findings argue against a sex atypical dimorphism in MtFTR, at least in those who are not androphillic [attracted to men].” Filipek et al. 1994; Murphy et al. 1996; and Giedd et al. 1997, 2006 saw “significantly elevated hippocampal volume” in females so who do you trust? Returning to what we know of neuroplasty, anxiety is linked to decreased volume and people who meditate have larger hippocampal dimensions, interestingly enough. So uhh… why do we need to be neuroscientists to justify a female-only domestic violence shelters?

a LOT of slasher flicks from the 70s and 80s strike me as sexually violent revenge fantasies against women’s growing independence at the time tbh

officialweatherwax

Ooohhhh, that explains tropes like punishing the sexually active or otherwise “naughty” girl with a violent (often sexualized) death and letting the virtuous girl live

lezzyfeinberg

i learned abt this when we studied gothic genres in lit class:

it was a way to get blood and gore past censors. they intentionally portrayed female sexually as dirty and deserving of punishment so christian run American censorship bodies would allow the movies to go to release.
