Female subordination: Difference between revisions

Anthropologist Eibl-Eibesfeldt suggested the tendency for women to submit to dominant men may a remnant of ancient adaptations in which pair formation only succeeds when the male is able to dominate the female and overcome her coy reluctance. This male dominate/female surrender pattern can be observed in fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals.<ref>Eibl-Eibesfeldt I. 1989. ''Pair Formation, Courtship, Sexual Love.'' In: ''Human Ethology.'' Rougtledge.

An additional explanation is that men, as their natural role as provider,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref> do not want to waste their resources on another man's offspring, so they have a strong preference for exclusive sexual access to their woman as a measure to avoid being [[cuckoldry|cuckolded]]. Not just men have this preference, but men's mothers and their entire families that may invest their family wealth in the offspring as well,<ref>https://quillette.com/2018/11/25/on-the-nature-of-patriarchy/</ref><ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S109051381730363X</ref> who were usually heavily involved in partner choices.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886918305348</ref> Such behavior by relatives can plausibly also be adaptive by kin selection. Women being chosen based on their faithfulness is thought to fuel female intrasexual competition by gossip and accusations of sluttiness, also explaining how, historically, females have massively contributed to restraining one another's sexuality.<ref>http://www.femininebeauty.info/suppression.pdf</ref><ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022103117304195</ref> This should imply women have been selected to be obedient, agreeable, childlike and weak, i.e. easily controllable like a child. This could also explain men's attraction to underage, post-pubertal, fertile girls/women ([[hebephilia]]) which is quite [[Scientific Blackpill#tocAge|prevalent]] sexual desire among men. Gowaty (1992:231-40) writes:

 

 

Another explanation could be (like [[Schopenhauer]] claimed) that women are childlike and subordinative because women are adapted to take care of young children, so they are more similar to them psychologically and this helps them relate to them.

Simulating childish behavior may also test for the man's ability to contain the tantrums of a child and socialized it well.

Furthermore, being [[neoteny|neotenous]] and prone to cry like children, nobody likes to correct women, so they develop severe [[solipsism]], insanity and unbearable nastiness, hence people prefer to keep their behaviors tightly constrained. Islamistic scholars and imams, often talk about female insanity and throughout human history intellectuals all over the world have reported of insufferable female behavior, e.g. [[Otto Weininger]] summarized femininity as "vapid horniness" despite womens lower [[sex drive]] (see [[timeless quotes on women]]).

 

Selection for submissive women has plausibly a number of self-reinforcing effects (feedback loops), e.g. any kind of sexual dimorphism gets amplified by [[sexual selection]] as being more feminine or more masculine enhance the attraction.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Even_chickens_prefer_sexually_dimorphic_human_faces.2C_to_the_same_extent_as_humans</ref>
