    Men only exist in relation to women. We’re just talking about the reproductive context here, so of course one sex is described in terms of the other. The same holds vice versa, each sex needs the other in an evolutionary system

    We are past the point where any of this matters in modern society, and I completely agree with your points about sexism, feminism, etc. I think you’re just letting a scientific/evolutionary perspective and discussion transfer over and project too much onto the problems you see in society today. However, I think (hope) that many of the people in this thread talking about evolution share your thoughts and feelings about modern society, it’s just, we’re talking about a specific, ancient, evolutionary system here is all. It’s very intently sexist I guess if you think about it. We’re lucky to live in modern times.
