Correct, although this could have happened well before humans.
Quote:Over time, the women who were weaker dominated the gene pool. That would have to be how it panned out, which doesn't make sense, given that, from an evolutionary standpoint, fortune favors stronger women who can reproduce well.
And yet, women are weaker than men, when strength in women would otherwise be an advantage to the species.
Quote:The losers don't get an alternative strategy. The winners knock up the woman. The losers can't knock up the women because the winners have. Like in other species, the winner protects his mate from rapey losers. In the end, you have an obvious reason for men being bigger. It's the same with other species.
Now you're ignoring the fact that females are indeed raped, and that sometimes results in pregnancy. It's amazing the blinders you guys put on regarding this.
Note also it's not necessarily just size. In the Aziz thread, some women argued that many women tend to freeze up in uncomfortable sexual situations rather than assertively trying to get out of the situation. They were assuming this is a social construct, but it makes a lot of sense as an evolutionary adaptation.
