What was the age gap?

Like taking off your shoes before entering someone’s home. Why bring street dirt into a living space? Common sense in many asian countries, non-existant sense in the netherlands.

Common sense is limited by the population size that shares the same way of thinking.

What’s common sense to one group, isn’t to the other. Common sense is people specific, not global.

It’s actually meant for flies. It’s a bathroom for men and flies. They had to make the sign this way because flies can’t read.

Not saying you shouldn’t be nice.

Crying has everything to do with infanticide.

It also lowers male aggression, which protected babies from infanticide. Here come angry papa responding to the baby alarm!

In most primates, males commit the most infanticide. Humans are the exception. Infants are almost never killed by men. Women often kill their own newborn out of severe trauma. Though some kidnap and kill out of jelousy. Never trust a woman having a hard time getting pregnant. Never let her near your pregnant wife. Never let them alone with your newborn or young child.

Killing your own offspring out of spite is a very useful evolutionary advantage in species that need to put a lot of energy in their kids. Male forced you and fertilized your eggs? Just recycle and start over next time. In humans, it means not putting years of energy into a child forced on you. Kill and start over with a stable partner. Because of this, rape is only about seeking dominance and control over someone. It has nothing to do with reproduction anymore. Men commit more sexual assaults than women, but the motivation behind rape is the same. Women may be less violent, but still often torture their victims in other ways.

Adding factor is serial monogamy. Animals who lost their partner, are willing to neglect their offspring to increase their bond with the new mate when he/she doesn’t accept their offspring. Humans do this too. The cold stepparent.

Baby killing is a natural behaviour. Albeit a horrid one. It’s a way to maintain bodily autonomy for females in general, and especially useful when two parents are more succesful than a single parent. Menstruation made it so that infanticide would be even less likely. Menstruation reduces the chance of pregnancy by 40-60%. It’s a preventive misscarriage known as embryonic wasting.

The defensive behaviour of reducing male aggression led to women crying more than men. Baby cries don’t lower women’s aggression. It might increase it. The smell of babies for sure increases female aggression. Mostly to protect their child from a jelous/grieving female who lost their baby (female-female competition is understudied) or from a controlling male bachelor looking to get the mother to ovulate again sooner so he can mate with her (with or without consent!).

This woman chose the bear.

Kinda sad he was more concerned about his sex life than his wife’s health.

That’s evil…

Sour candy still has a lot of sugar in it. Plus, acid can make us feel awake. Works well against nausea too.

ADHD, self-medicating behaviour from childhood in the form of candy seeking. Impossible impulse to control and occurs when experiencing a dip in concentration/boredom. It helped me focus for very brief moments.
