Women inhabit a different social universe.

This is why, when they enter male spaces, they assume they are being targeted for their sex. They simply are unable to grasp what the standard male experience in those spaces is like.

The female of the human species has a life experience that is not only unique among humans, but unique among females. It is a privilege that is unknown elsewhere in nature.

When a female human looks as if she in danger, or suffering, or being treated unfairly, other humans, both male and female, care about this even if they are not mates or relatives.

This is not typical. Females of other species typically do not experience this. Male humans do not typically experience this, and when they do, it's culturally trained in.

Altruism towards human females is genetic.

Why?

Because the human reproductive cycle is uniquely fragile. Giant brains require early development of giant heads, which means female humans have to evolve to deliver giant heads, and to deliver them early, while they can still pass through the pelvic girdle.

This means that not only do women have to have inefficiently wide hips, they also have to devote much of their development to a complex and fragile reproductive system.

And it gets worse. Infants, being born prematurely compared to other species, are extremely fragile and develop extremely slowly. Infant horses can run hours after being born. Infant humans can't even hold their own heads up.

Which makes women even more vulnerable. After all, if you're carrying a precious and delicate Faberge egg around, inside or outside your body, you effectively ARE that egg... because if you are handled roughly, it will break.

Obviously, this heavy biological price is worth it to the species, because it has allowed us to be smart enough to dominate the planet, but it has caused humanity to evolve with an Achilles heel... the fragility, and the indispensability, of women.

So how does a species like that survive under primitive conditions?

Simple. Evolve a genetic imperative... protect the women.

In no other species is this imperative so strong.

Tomcats don't protect and care for female cats. Why would they? Female cats can run and fight and hunt, even when pregnant, and their kittens can be left alone for hours at a time in hidden places.

This basic instinct to defend the Achilles heel of the species is so powerful that it impacts and shapes our politics and social culture to this day.

That is why men want male spaces. Because when women are present, they must always be protected, even when that interferes with the mission, or the social culture of the space.

Going on a 20-mile hike? Take women along, and it might suddenly become a 10-mile hike, or a 5-mile hike, because one of them got tired. Building something? All work must stop if a woman becomes upset. Playing a team sport? Well, you get the idea.

You have to understand that this behavior is compulsive. Even the precise same men who resent women's presence changing the space, will still feel compelled to protect women, and to change the space to protect women, even if they passive-aggressive lash out at those women later for invoking that instinct.

In other words, male spaces are spaces where men can just be people and not have to worry about being a stranger's guardian angel.

The reason that online male spaces have a higher frequency of this sort of lashing out at women is that men can't SEE the woman there, so the protective instinct is less likely to trigger.

There is a corresponding instinct on the part of women... to seek out, gravitate to, and demand this kind of behavior.

So the answer to "Juliebear"s question is simple.

1. Yes, men talk to each other like that.

This is not a special trait of men. It is the universal standard for strangers in competition, a standard from which only women are exempt.

2. No, we don't like it.

3. So what?

We have to put up with it anyway, because it trains us to be tough and not let things bother us. Because that's who we have to be for the sake of women.

If we are delicate and sensitive and cry, literally or metaphorically, not only can we not protect women when they actually need, or think they need, protecting, we would also not have descendants.

Because crying men give women the ick.

4. No, you are not different.

You can virtue-signal all you want by saying men should be protected, too, but that has about as much weight as a puff of warm hydrogen.

If and when a man elbows you aside to get to the lifeboat, or cries because someone said something mean and his feelings are hurt, you will find out just precisely how not-different you are.

5. This is the social order that keeps our species going.

Don't mess with it, or birth rates will plummet. Kinda like we see happening all around us right now.
