When men are friends, we're busting each other's balls.
Why are we busting each other's balls?
Because we're testing to see if it's safe and it's a nonviolent environment.
So I'll say, Sean, you piece of crap.
And you're like, F you, motherfucker.
That's how we're going to connect.
That's how we bond.
But the reason we do it is we're pushing our boundaries out to show that, hey, it's safe here because we're not going to fight.
Does that make sense?
That's why men bond on insulting each other.
And so we have these completely different domains.
So war is the domain of men.
And so when, look at it, you know, go in let's say 50,000 years of human development as adversaries invade your, let's say town or village, what do they do with all the men and the boys?
they're done the women stay on as concubines okay that's literally been the booty and the spoils of war because you take your enemies women right and this is undebatable historically right so the women even though they have a horrendous outcome for themselves they don't have the same biological risk the biological risk for men is that your bloodline stops forever because you and your kids are dead your boys are killed right but for the women their bloodline continues
They reproduce with the winners.
And you actually see this on a non-war scale in a hypergonous nature.
Women wait at the finish line and bang the winners.
So in war, women don't have the same kind of a risk as men have.
I'm not saying the outcome is optimal at all, but it's a different risk.
So the next phase of that, what happens when women have sons?
