I say fun oh my gosh don't clip that ruthless but interesting yeah interesting how about i really did mean it when i said i don't care how gross the theory is i just want to know if true uh but i don't know how much infanticide has actually played a role in humans but it's kind of funny and this actually relates back to the political conversation we were having earlier is that some of the initial theories from sarah hurdy on women's infidelity in humans were related to paternity uncertainty and hilariously given that you know this is something that louis beshoed uh pointed out to me which is that you know in the 70s 80s and 90s these findings on women as sexual strat of strategists dual mating paternity uncertainty creation these sorts of things they were championed at that time as feminist ideas and pushed back upon by right wing people who wanted women to you know they had this archaic view of women as passive and you not engaging in the sexual marketplace as active agents and now today we have the complete political reverse where it's the same set of scientific findings but it's the super feminist groups that are saying oh that's just not true they're kind of acting like the old right wingers and it's the really misogynistic groups such as you know the the tail end of incels and and such who are holding up these same findings and saying they're great so that I think that that's better evidence than I've heard for anything that uh these facts facts are facts are neutral and if you have an agenda you can collect a set of facts and spin them in a way that fits whatever agenda you like the same findings that today we call our sex we call sexist were originally you know championed by by feminist scholars and that's that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

I would say that the truth about cinderella so yeah that's such a fun one about infanticide and humans
