a thing I still like, despite all it's problems, is evolutionary psychology. this is a nice thread. @SarahTaber_bww/998385748167610370

like... the story it tells about the female orgasm is neat, but does not seem to be the whole of the story. presumably female bonobos orgasm, and they're not selecting for future investment from a mate?

which is part of the problem with evo psych - it is a bit too good at producing neat stories that explain relatable behaviour. the other (related) problem is it's tendency towards racism & sexism

but still... we are animals, we evolved in a particular way, and there are human universals. it's an important thing to study, even if there are a hell of a lot of holes you can fall down.
