crackhaus: See my previous answer to you. I also don't know what birthing boys on demand has to do with what I typed. And you learn to read and grasp meanings. Here's what I wrote: It is this kind of thinking that influences the thought behind blaming women for not birthing boys on demand. Did I write that you said it? Like I said before, this is you trying to trivialize the process of fertilization by using just your common sense to explain a complex biological process... it's much more complicated than that bro. Gosh you guys can be so arbitrary it's unbelievable. Pray tell what is sperm count? Do you know the meaning of interplay? Again reread that my post carefully before you respond. This is what I typed: Again see my previous post. No you're still not getting it. You are the one not getting it. Biological function DOES NOT PROVE behaviour. That you have the ability to do something DOESN'T NOT CONFER ON YOU THE RIGHT to do it. Do you need that in pidgin? Lol @creative license... I am not the first to express the idea, maybe you should read a bit more widely. 4 Likes |

(...) Polygyny is much more common than polyandry because evolutionarily, the benefits of polygyny for men are much higher than the benefits of polyandry for women. This is true for reasons outlined in my previous post; in short, men benefit reproductively much more than women do from having multiple partners, and so they are relatively psychologically adapted to seek novel mates. By the same token, the evolutionary costs of polyandry for men are much higher than the costs of polygyny for women. If you're a man whose co-husband has impregnated your shared wife, then you have to wait a long time (at least nine months of gestation, and probably years of lactation as well) before you get another shot at reproduction. But if you're a woman whose co-wife has been impregnated by your shared husband, you can still get pregnant right away. You'll have to share your husband's parental investment with your co-wife, but at least you'll be able to reproduce. And being the co-wife of a wealthy, high status, highly desirable man may well be a better option for you than being the only wife of a less impressive husband. (...) Another contrast between polygyny and polyandry is pointed out by Miriam Zeitzen in her book Polygamy: whereas men compete intensely to attract multiple wives, and male status is positively correlated with number of wives, women don't compete to acquire multiple husbands, and female status is not related to number of husbands. Polyandrous marriages in fact tend to be initiated by the co-husbands, who are nearly always brothers, for economic and reproductive reasons (e.g. to avoid partitioning scarce arable land, or because the brothers can't find wives individually). Zeitzen also notes that these marriages involve a relatively large workload for the wife, in terms of the services--both domestic and sexual--that she is expected to provide for her husbands. (Many Western men, who might imagine that providing sexual services for multiple spouses would be a nice responsibility, will be surprised to learn that polyandrously-married women tend to find it onerous). https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/darwin-eternity/201108/are-people-naturally-polygamous-0 To the women in the house: Which one of you would like to be married to more than one man? 1 Like |

LordReed:I didn't reread it, and my previous response still stands: The process of fertilization is much more complex than your I-must-try-to-explain simplistic submission. Ahhh finally, he gets it. Now that you can admit that men have the natural ability to be polygamous while women do not (based on the whole biological sperm-egg and pregnancy theory of course), I guess it's only the morality of it we have to argue on because this whole women-can-accommodate-as-many-sperm-from-multiple-men thesis does not prove that women are polygamous by nature. They can be polygamous by choice, but definitely not by nature. A few comments ago, you didn't even know you were not the first to express the idea when you called it your 'creative license'... and now you want to act like you read a bit more widely to know about it. Well, I am here to tell you and whoever expressed the idea first that there's no such thing as biological immortality when it comes to passing on genes. For starters, no single person passes his/her genes to their offspring EXCLUSIVELY without combining it with the genes from the other person he/she mated with. In other words, for someone to maintain or have genetic/biological immortality...he/she must not die or if going to die, must be able to transfer all 46 chromosomes (23 pairs, holding an estimated total of 20,000 to 25,000 genes) to an offspring without mixing it up with any other chromosomes from a mate before he/she can be considered as having accomplished genetic/biological integrity, purity, and IMMORTALITY. Thank you very much! 4 Likes 1 Share |

crackhaus: You are woefully ignorant of the process of fertilization if you think 300million sperm entering the cervix is considered trivialisation.
A man is not naturally polygamous because he can impregnate more than one woman any more than a vegetarian is a natural vegetable eater because he/she can subsist on vegetables alone. 3 Likes |
