Why just lie there and take it? Why is paralyzing fear women's dominant response to male aggression? Why, so often, don't women fight back harder? Do our instincts value survival so highly that men mostly get away with rape? Ugh. Men are violent.
Generally speaking, women will bear, love and raise any child that grows within them? Is emotionally shattering submission the ugly price of propelling the species through pestilence, war and famine? Is women's self-respect not genetically conserved?
The classic pattern of conquest is to kill the men and children and impregnate the women. Women tend to survive, to bear the children of their conquerors. Ghengis Kahn's genes are the most ubiquitous in populations today.
I don't like this idea. Misogyny is never excusable. Inter-gender violence is abhorrent. Restricting women's roles in the 21st century is wrongheaded. But how did we arrived at society's wicked, perverse gender preferences? Why is the problem so widespread? Why are we in this unholy mess?
