Increased Female Control of Sexuality = Bad Trends for Society

[Rikurzhen]

Back in the days when female sexuality was controlled by peer pressure and family approval, women lost sexuality liberty and society gained a.) family stability and b.) children born to higher quality men.

Criminal offending as part of an alternative reproductive strategy: investigating evolutionary hypotheses using Swedish total population data

Criminality is highly costly to victims and their relatives, but often also to offenders. From an evolutionary viewpoint, criminal behavior may persist despite adverse consequences by providing offenders with fitness benefits as part of a successful alternative mating strategy. Specifically, criminal behavior may have evolved as a reproductive strategy based on low parental investment reflected in low commitment in reproductive relationships. We linked data from nationwide total population registers in Sweden to test if criminality is associated with reproductive success. Further, we used several different measures related to monogamy to determine the relation between criminal behavior and alternative mating tactics. Convicted criminal offenders had more children than individuals never convicted of a criminal offense. Criminal offenders also had more reproductive partners, were less often married, more likely to get remarried if ever married, and had more often contracted a sexually transmitted disease than non-offenders. Importantly, the increased reproductive success of criminals was explained by a fertility increase from having children with several different partners. We conclude that criminality appears to be adaptive in a contemporary industrialized country, and that this association can be explained by antisocial behavior being part of an adaptive alternative reproductive strategy.​

-Male criminals have more children than solid upstanding men.
-Male criminals have children with multiple women, abandoning each as they move to the next woman.
-Support of children made possible by women voting to tax the stable families in society and extract support for the raising of the children they have with criminal men.

It takes two to tango and women are choosing these guys and they're stuck with the children born to them and to the degree that behavior in the child is heritable, those boys are going to grow up to be like dear old dad (who they likely never see) thus repeating the cycle and expanding its reach.

Looking down at this issue with a focus on society-level analysis, this is simply astounding to behold. A social structure which gives reproductive advantages to the most anti-social of men and this is permitted to happen because women find these men so appealing that they're willing to have children with them at a rate that exceeds what individual men who are building society record.

The days of families having influence and/or veto over who their daughters would marry certainly delivered a lot of benefits to society in that it deprived women of the ability to make as many bad choices as we see taking place today. Similarly, those old days when single mothers were scorned and provided with no benefits resulted in controlling female sexuality because the consequences of giving birth out of wedlock were very severe. This was good for society in that it lowered the number of children born to criminal men.

Ah, the good old days.

Yeah, we needed the a Swedish study to tell us. A week in US inner cities would have done it.

So..."Idiocracy" was right? Uneducated, criminal types vastly out-reproduce educated law-abidding people? I don't think anyone doubts that. But it's always nice when there's a study confirming it.

Idiocracy arises due to women's skewed mating preferences. When parents had some control over their daughter's choices, outcomes were better.

Ah, the good old days.

You mean back in the days when unwed mothers went sent to homes before giving birth and having their own child stolen from them, don't you?

Hey, as a dude, if I have to support a child I want to have some fun in conceiving that child. I'm not really keen on paying for single mothers to raise their children if I had no part in that process.

And here's the really important part - I have my own children to raise. Every dollar in taxes that goes to that single mother is a dollar I can't spend on my own kids.

People in the old days understood this. Then women got the vote and it all went to hell.

They understood the need to keep female sexuality under control:

a widow who had borne a child 3 years after her husband's death was whipped 10 stripes and ordered into some good family where she may be under government​

This fails as a post hoc fallacy.


And people in the 'old days' understood separate but equal and women were property of their husbands.


The reactionary right is truly the bane of the American Nation.
