For The Man Who Has Given Up Completely

Not very big on the 'LETS GIVE UP' mentality since I've heard much of it in the MRA community, especially earlier on in the MRM.

However, I must say that being male in a bonobo society sounds worst than being female in a chimpanze society. Doubt anybody takes this clothing line seriously.

I wouldn't be surprised that if you left both chimps and bonobos in their natural environments, and came back in a few million years, chimps would have built a civilization and bonobos would still be peacefully humping in the trees.

Wrangham and Peterson suggested that this difference in social organization may have been caused by a difference in living environments: bonobos don’t share territory with Gorillas. Gorillas eat up a staple food that chimpanzees and bonobos can eat as a staple, so bonobos live in relative luxury and rarely go hungry because a snack is always within reach. They are isolated from chimps, and since they don’t compete for resources, the live in a peace of plenty.

Sometimes I wonder if there is any way to keep a society from self-destructing once it becomes successful. The problem is that people think they can become bonobos when they they still live in the chimpanzee world... they've just been isolated from it for enough time that they forgot.
