Big Head Babies and the Science of Patriarchy
Sexism is hardwired into our species by evolution as an inevitable result of our giant heads.
The following is an excerpt from my fourth book, The Rational Male, Religion.
Most women fancy themselves as “Alpha Females” by order of degree, but they never really understand that the Strong Independent Woman brand they identify with is based on a masculine dynamic. Essentially, they’re alpha males with breasts and a vagina. It’s hard for women to give up that fantasy, especially when they live in an era when men are portrayed as vile, stupid, untrustworthy, and ‘dependent’ on women’s unique feminine powerfulness to save them from themselves.
This old-order narrative instills a sense of empowerment in women based on false narratives. They’re taught to resist an easily hated straw man of masculinity, and one made all the easier to knock down in our globalized, 24-hour, online consciousness. Hypergamy is dualistic – Alpha Seed/Beta Need, Cads vs.Dads – but half of that desire, the desire for protection, provisioning, parental investment, emotional investment, familiarity, and comfort from men, is rooted in a need for security. While women hate to be called the “weaker sex,” biologically, evolutionarily, nature or God has made women the more vulnerable sex. The realities of our ancestral past dictated that women (and their offspring) were dependent on men for protection from a chaotic and dangerous world. That need for security is something women still innately seek in today’s men. Why?
Because human babies have giant heads.
