The first one especially with regards to female evolved sexuality and the last for a wonderful debate on feminsm and evolution. I'd defo recomment that one to you Soph as it concernes your question directly, and better than I could recount.

Now you've all deserted me, haven't you?

mumble 'sorry'

Oh, I love Hrdy. Was getting all ready to start quoting her.

Where is this other thread?

It comes in two volumes NQC - here is the most recent one

I can't start till Madamez and 'tuthers join us...

I'm listening but lol at Morrisons in slippers

Oh, right, yes, I saw that thread, but am bored of the porn argument. I'll skim through it.

I'm hoping to learn things that aren't in Hrdy, much as I love her (and use her as an argument for why most of the local women I know have boys!).

Hey, what happened? This never get started? This looked good. Like my brain cells might get a roasting. It's been a while...

Bloody lecturer is asleep at the front isn't she? Hey, Trousers! Gerrup!

Right, I'll be watching this one.

NQC - are you teacher's pet? Who is Hrdy? Please don't make me google...

Well, when you all wake up return in the morning - late and with hangovers I expect - I'll be wanting more guidance regarding this Hrdy woman (and her vowel-less surname). Have Amazon'd her and it all looks pretty interesting.

Wish I was back at Uni. Sigh.

Am I the intelligent friend, Monkeytrousers? I'll do what I can but the old brains feeling a bit mushy tonight. Not to mention the eyes are going again.

I avoid these sex threads. I always seemed to get pounced on when I add my pittance.

However just showing some support for MT for taking the bull by the horns and not backing down! Well done you!

I'll read this with interest.

What about the suggestion that women are driven biologically to choose one type of man to be a provider but another type to father the children and as a result of that, a large number of men are unknowingly bringing up children that are not genetically theirs?

I have read that a few times and always wondered if it was true or not. It seems so weird a theory.

There are always exceptions however and many of these 'theories' are biased because they don't base their studies on large enough groups of people from a wide enough cultural background.

Most studies are done on white, middle class, young women. That's biased surely?

Hi MT I am here - had to take DS for his walk, do tea, do Avon deliveries then, er, write some porn. Aaaaanyway...
I do find the whole subject interesting and though I haven;t studied it full time (or in any organised academic way) I have read quite a lot about sexual behaviour, sexual diversity etc. (and a certain amount about human behaviour in general). So far my main conclusion is taht it is just about impossible to make any real definitive unbiased pronouncements about any aspect of human behaviour: the number of studies of a specific aspect of behaviour that totally contradict one another is pretty huge.

Hrdy is the woman who wrote the first two books that MT is recommending. She's an anthropologist/primatologist (I think primatologist first?), who does some interesting feminist work with social darwinism. Her books are very readable and enjoyable, and full of interesting ideas. Oh, and based on Actual Science.

lol Actual Science, Cider, MOrrisons - actually your all 'kin Funny. And Clever.
So if anyone ever says to you that's not funny or clever, they're lying.

Monkey Trousers is behind the stage curtains smoking a fag with a Hawking or a Dawkins btw. Quick pep talk, you know the kind of thing.

the murmurs in the hall become slightly louder..
deeny drops her can of cider, which bounces from the top tier, to the bottom tier, and lands, finally, a foot to the left of the Lecturer's Podium.

Prunie's 6 inchers begin to chaff. She's becoming restless. Perhaps dangerous.
