29. The Evo-psych proponents used chimpanzees to justify "rape as adaptive as adaptive behavior"

Back when this nonsense first started, because chimps can be very sexually aggressive. They used statistical data from group samples of chimps showing the females were not always staying in the family group, but seeking elsewhere for progeny to justify a whole slutty women chapter in their bullshit. Probably a book on it

Bonobos are very sexual creatures-- and very bi-sexual creatures the males and females both. I'd like to get a hands up in our little macho group of guys celebrating their sexual diversity. Because Bonobos. Or does that only apply to women?

The other thing I noticed was that some people are doing is confusing Evo-psych with evolutionary biology-- the first is discredited quackery, the second respectable science.
