0	Erasure of Sexually Monogamous Human Men in evopsych. If "males" are "supposed to want to impregnate everything that moves" then why are there so many men who latch onto just one woman/partner and spend their entire life force on them? The one in need of a better grounding in philosophy of science is doubtlessly someone else, who seems to be unwilling to even consider the ideological background of this discipline. Again, science itself is not ideological, though this particular field of study certainly is. So if you dont want an ideological version of science, there you have one to look out for. Your political persuasions don't matter: by accepting evopsych's philosophical premisses you're accepting its politics, end of story.…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/03/22 02:22 AM

If "males" are "supposed to want to impregnate everything that moves" then why are there so many men who latch onto just one woman/partner and spend their entire life force on them? I see where you're coming from. Classic is-ought fallacy. Yes, you have observed that very well. By claiming to merely observe some natural laws of human nature and dispensing with morality altogether evopsych succumbs to the is-ought fallacy. There is no such thing. Yes there is. Evopsych is largely a regurgitation of Hobbes and Sociobiology. I recommend you read 'Not in our genes' by Richard Lewontin and Steven J. Gould. You seem to be very intent on denying the interwovenness of science and i…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/03/22 01:42 AM
-1	Erasure of Sexually Monogamous Human Men in evopsych. If "males" are "supposed to want to impregnate everything that moves" then why are there so many men who latch onto just one woman/partner and spend their entire life force on them? You misundersand. The fact that it is a scientific field of study doesn't contradict that it's basically a bourgeois science or ideology, if you will, in that it views the market as a pure expression of natural laws. I'm not sure what you mean by 'assigning it moral content' though. I'm merely stating that, being a product of bourgeois naturalism, evopsych, with some rare exceptions, rejects any notion of the good life and thereby any notions of a telos and morality apart from mere survival - an…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/03/22 12:23 AM
-1	Erasure of Sexually Monogamous Human Men in evopsych. If "males" are "supposed to want to impregnate everything that moves" then why are there so many men who latch onto just one woman/partner and spend their entire life force on them? The answer is fairly simple. Evopsych is at its core a liberal ideology which has no place whatsoever for high-minded morals or sacrifice. The only thing it knows is opportunistic selfinterest and the maximization of genetic utility in the sexual marketplace.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/03/22 03:23 PM

1	[OC] Share of individuals under age 30 who report zero opposite sex sexual partners since they turned 18 What exactly did our male mammalian ancestors provide?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/11/21 04:18 PM
1	[OC] Share of individuals under age 30 who report zero opposite sex sexual partners since they turned 18 Fair enough, but can you explain what resources are without refering back to money?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/11/21 04:11 PM
1	[OC] Share of individuals under age 30 who report zero opposite sex sexual partners since they turned 18 How can attraction to something that has been invented fairly recently in human history be biologically 'hard-coded'?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/11/21 03:51 PM
2	Language and exchanging information aren't the core business of intimate contact Well, I'm glad for you ;)	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/11/21 03:31 PM
1	Language and exchanging information aren't the core business of intimate contact You see, i think it is a notion promoted mainly by a modern therapeutic ethos and maybe rooted in romanticism that feelings are 'subjective' and that they are opposed to facts which are then supposed to be objective, whereas in many traditions 'feelings' and 'moods' might have been understood as things originating in the objective world or at least being impersonal or public, i.e. not having a specific owner, while facts (empirical knowledge about the world) were often understood to be purely su…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/11/21 03:01 PM
3	Language and exchanging information aren't the core business of intimate contact The 'obscenity' and 'narcissistic' aspect resides in the fact that under current ideology any valid criticism of something gets reflexively reframed as a mere personal opinion and expression of our identity. In fact, i would claim that this ideological premise is so strong that even manospherians fall for it. This predicament forces men to adopt an incrementalist ethic where they have to constantly renegotiate the most mundane aspects of their masculine condition as if they were a matter of mere…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/11/21 02:31 PM
6	Language and exchanging information aren't the core business of intimate contact I honestly consider this notion of 'intimacy' where we are supposed to overshare and reveal to each other our 'real' selves, emotions and opinions to be an overall pretty dumb modern idea, utterly obscene in its execution and a recipe for narcissism. That this has become the blueprint for how we're supposed to mate is a very worrisome trend. The war on objectification is just another step towards the taming and creeping disenchantment of masculinity as a premodern superstition. As yet I don't ha…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/11/21 01:34 PM

5	No Nut November (Am I Overanalyzing This?) It's certainly very indicative of current bourgeoise ideology that any attempt made by men to assert self-control in the form of moderation or abstention is immediately branded in the most hysterical way as a threat to the liberal feminist establishment. It's all very bizarre and it probably involves a lot of projection but i get what you mean...	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/11/21 06:19 PM
