Briffault's Law

What do you want to say?

Where the female can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place.

You can easily switch the genders. I won't participate in a relationship which is not beneficial to me, and I expect the other to behave similarly.

You do get that Briffault's Law is observation and only generally applicable, right? That's the idea of these laws. Briffault's law deals with things who are solely motivated by biology i.e. the animal family. Here are some other examples of "laws"

Betteridges law: Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word "no"

Cunningham's Law: the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question, it's to post a wrong answer.

Goodhart's Law: When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

Poe's Law: Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humour, it is impossible to create a parody of fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing. There's literally shiteloads of them. Try showing these two to a feminist: Sayre's Law and Shirky's Law. That should be fun.

However, and this is my point. I have no idea why you're posting one. No matter the reasons (other than them sometimes being a bit neat and funny) they aren't really helpful except as an occasional reminder of general knowledge.
