107 Alphas, betas, and the capitalists who betrayed us (1/2)
Beluga continued educating Ben while his beagle sniffed another poochs butt in the dog park. ”You remember I once told you that most of our impulses are unevolved remnants from the caveman days?”
Ben nodded.
”Modern s.e.x.u.a.l dynamics also developed from that time. Cavemen tried to i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.e as many females as possible, because having more children maximized the survival chances of their genes. Thats how men did it. Now, consider this: how did women spread their genes?”
”Hmmm…” Ben rubbed his chin, as if choosing his words in the most careful manner. ”Receiving nut”
Beluga nodded. ”Correct, the nut is a universal factor…but its more important to consider the process after. A female could only pass on her genes by being pregnant herself, which took 9 months of her life, and incapacitated her. In that age, this created two important implications…
First, pregnancy generated a dependency on men. During pregnancy, a woman wasnt able to do much; It was unlikely she had any reliable means of acquiring food by herself. So how did females survive?”
Ben blinked. ”Paleo diet?”
Shaking his head, Beluga ignored him. ”A female survived by locking down a man, who became a provider of food, protection, and other resources for her and her child. This is the root of female dependency on males. It also extended past pregnancy to overall life, since women were physically weaker and less capable of acquiring food through hunting and gathering. This issue amplified further if she had to raise weak children. Even in modern times, you still see this male-female dynamic where the man is the breadwinner in a couple…”
Listening on with rapt attention, Ben began to better understand male-female relationsh.i.p.s
Beluga continued. ”This first implication during caveman days, of female dependency on men, led to the second implication: it was not in a womans best interest to have casual s.e.x with random males. Pregnancy was and still is a serious danger to a womans health and survival chances. Getting pregnant by a random drifter created a disaster. Thus, the risk of casual s.e.x for a woman was much higher than for a man. Before birth control, a woman who was a s.l.u.t was a fool”
Ben gained a new appreciation for science. God bless birth control
Beluga looked up to the sky for a moment as if saying his own prayer…
Then he returned to speaking. ”Since most females werent idiots, they were selective with their partners, wholesome. This is also the original root of why even today, theres a double standard for promiscuity in females vs. males. S.l.u.t-shaming has always existed, but the interesting thing is that the majority shaming them were not men, but females! It was because a s.l.u.t made access to s.e.x easier, which hurt the wholesome women who tried to ensnare men…”
”The same way they females do now, through a slow courting process; extracting their time, resources, and emotions in exchange for potential s.e.x. One reason they do this is they want those things. The other is they want to make the man invested in them, making it easier to get him to commit to a relationship. That way he wont just leave after sleeping with them. You could saythose women are artificially inflating the value of their v.a.g.i.n.as!”
Ben shook his head. ”Damn greedy capitalists”
Belugas eyes became solemn. ”Indeedtheyre like De Beers diamonds, limiting supply to control the price Theyve built a p*ssy pedestal of lies and deceit
S.l.u.ts go against that mold, which harms the interests of the v.a.g.i.n.a banking lobby
Thats why even now, s.l.u.t-shaming still survives”
Ben squeezed his fists. ”Its not right! S.l.u.ts should be celebrated!”
”Youre goddamn right Despite that, city hall continues to refuse my petition to create an official s.l.u.t day” Beluga grimaced… ”But well put that aside for now. The point of the story circles back to the original issue of there being different mating strategies for males and females.
As explained earlier, a mans best strategy is to have as many partners as possible. Yet, for a woman, partnership carries high risk, so she needs to be selective. A females ideal approach is thus to lock down a provider who will stay during and after pregnancy. Since the beginning of time, this role has been accepted by primarily one type of man” Beluga frowned while his tongue formed the words, as if they carried a disgusting taste. ”The beta”
A sudden crack of thunder resounded through the sky despite there being no clouds!
