The fact that you went on a 4000 word tirade about semantics is nothing but proof that you have absolutely 0 arguments of any substance. “Passing” is absolutely used by transexuals to describe if they achieve the goal of presenting themselves to society (through make up, dress and physical attributes) as the gender they identify with. I.e. Blair White PASSES Kaitlin Jenner DOESN’T PASS. The end.
That’s the beauty of evolution: the male meat eater doesn’t need to make a connection about propagating his species, let alone one of causality with a 9 month delay, whatever is more beneficial to the offspring will be selected for. Also I’m unclear: are you suggesting males fall asleep so they do not “eat the female”? Surely the desire to eat supersedes the desire to have sex, therefore by your logic it follows that we would see many instances where the male of one species cannibalizes the fema…
... seems to me evolution would select for genes that would drive a male, due to long gestational period of females (9 months) and long period of maturation of offspring (14 years), to want to hunker down with a mate that they liked or thought would produce the most viable offspring.
