@randlespandle@AusJanStraka@anthony_lipira@cultured_chud Obviously society then rebalanced itself, and with some outliers monogamy became the norm. Having all men have one woman at the very least is far better for stability than some farmcel hacking you to death out of sexual frustration.
@randlespandle@AusJanStraka@anthony_lipira@cultured_chud Thats just not true, most pre historic humans simply could not afford polygyny as that would’ve required a surplus of goods.
Mix that with human babies needing obscene amount of parental investment and you get monogamy. If anything early agriculture introduced extreme polygyny.
@KevinSVanHorn@UnpaidPhilosphr where are men present? Construction, tangible logistics, manufacturing, mining, drilling, farming etc
Humanity can survive just fine without lawyers, email jobs, HR managers. It might not be a comfortable life, yet it cannot survive more than 72 hours without the former.
@KevinSVanHorn@UnpaidPhilosphr political power as such is abstract and irrelevant. Bureaucrats don’t decide anything, neither do middle managerial classes were women excel, if those who control the real economy don’t want to carry out the orders.
@SpeedyX04005298@TouhouEnjoyer_ Simply put, unfortunately a lot of women are:
A. Geniunely retarded and cannot conceive of the fact that assault is as much about harming a person’s dignity as about the force itself
B. They do understand it, they just retreat to ‘It didn’t happen, if it did you deserve it.’
@SpeedyX04005298@TouhouEnjoyer_ it has nothing to do with this as evidenced by the fact that women clearly have an understanding of forms of abuse (on the theoratical level) that do not involve using kinetic force.
@GabrielCor54922 and this is just the soviet union. the Romanian, Bulgarian and Czechoslovak golden generations were all born and bred during the socialist era, after which they quickly crashed and burned, and none of them seen heights like that since.
@GabrielCor54922 you are completely retarded.
the soviets pioneered fluid positional tactics, scientific coaching, use of data in matches and match preparations, the earliest iterations of the high press and the 4-4-2 formation.
@aristocratLKY@PanEuropeanJrnl In simpler times she would’ve been a nepo baby just the same, marrying some weak willed and fairly easily subverted man who’s politics she could’ve controlled from the background.
@ikeda_bkw@bacchal65965@TruueDiscipline “no not really”
unless you mean that due to spousal death rates people regularly remarried in the past, in which case I’ve misunderstood you, the current system we have is called “effective polygyny” by sociologists and behavioral scientists.
@bacchal65965@TruueDiscipline Further, the monarchs who did have a harem of women despite legal monogamy such as the french bourbons, didn’t copulate with random servants. Even their mistresses were from their own class, varying from high to the mid-lower nobility/patricians/eugeneis.
@bacchal65965@TruueDiscipline The modern world isn’t monogamous, it is polygynous, with an indeed farcical idea that just because you sign a marriage contract you’re suddenly monogamous after a lifetime of switching partners.
And no, monarchs didn’t always hoard women. Which is why they became inbred lol
@bacchal65965@TruueDiscipline If or whenever the latter happens we are back to the law of the jungle, namely that reproductive success is achieved through disruptive or borderline revolutionary activities. Much like how chimps beat their alphas to death the moment they sense even a little weakness.
@bacchal65965@TruueDiscipline family assets can be protected via legal polygamy, nothing stops polygamous from writing wills and contracts lol
Class endogamy and enforced monogamy however ensures that the higher classes cannot hoard the women on a wealth or sociopolitical basis.
@bacchal65965@TruueDiscipline this is just non-sensical. These societies for the most part were either wiped out, dominated, or reformed. Enforced monogamy, marriage norms and class endogamy has existed for thousands of years, exactly as a social contract between men.
