For those without the time to read 300 pages, here's the short version.

The short version is much better for linking in forum discussions, because most people who aren't MRAs won't want to read the long version.

Great article.

But taking chances like that would be stupid, from the perspective of a biological organism seeking to reproduce. They might drown or be killed by savages or catch a disease. For women, the optimal thing to do is go along with the crowd, be nice, play it safe. The odds are good that men will come along and offer sex and you’ll be able to have babies. All that matters is choosing the best offer. We’re descended from women who played it safe.

This part is one of the secrets of why men are more inventive, productive, daring, creative. It's because men must prove their worth to earn a partner, and reproduce.

It's like wanting something that is hard(er) to get, instead of giving it on a golden platter and become spoiled. This is why men work harder, take more risks, build, innovate more, and such as described earlier.

There's more than enough people who are genetically related to you in some form so "having children" is not that important today.

I have treasured the text of his talk by the same name for years. For me it is the most important foundational work on.mens rights yet written.

What I got out of it is that they point out the apex fallacy. Was there more to it to that, or was that the point?
