Is Male Competition for Women a Force Behind Human Progress?

I’m only going by the title. But yes. It truly is. Look at those compilations of interviewers asking women if they would live in a world without men, most say YES with so much enthusiasm. However, when they ask the men, they not only say no, they say HELL NO. And that’s why men are the fairer/better sex.

Maybe in the past, not now.

I don't think so because society is collapsing slowly

I wouldn’t call it male competition. Do married men improve themselves in order to support their wife and children? Sure. Probably even more so in the past when men almost always out-earned their wives. 100 years ago that might have been the main way women improved society since they rarely contributed directly to advances in science, health and wealth.

It’s a natural reaction for most animal species, what Richard Dawkins called the selfish gene. From a more human perspective the family unit is most fundamental group that we belong to. We are loyal and want to win for our “team”. But if men or women start to break that trust then it also can harm society, so laws or norms that break traditional family structure can be very dangerous.

Yes, but only if women honor their roles in this structure.

The title: kinda.

Most actual progress happens in war or to survive.

However men are a lot more willing to work so their family has a good life, vs just working for themself to have a good life. And well, supporting 4-5 people, incl the man, takes a lot more resources than just supporting yourself.
