VeganPizza69 ⓋⒶ<p>"The evolution of male–female dominance relations in primate societies"</p><p><a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2500405122" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2500</span><span class="invisible">405122</span></a></p><p>&lt;💬&gt;<br>Males were long believed to dominate females socially in most primates. Recent studies have challenged this perspective, paving the way for a more comprehensive exploration of male–female power relations. Here, we quantify and examine variation in intersexual dominance relationships across 121 primate species. We show that societies where males win nearly all aggressive encounters against females are actually rare. Evolutionarily, females became more dominant when they gained more control over reproduction, as in monogamous, monomorphic, or arboreal species, as well as when they faced more competition, as in solitary or pair-living species. Contrarily, male-biased dominance prevails in terrestrial, sexually dimorphic, and polygynous species. These results may also deepen debates about the origins of gender roles in human societies.<br>&lt;/💬&gt;</p><p>Remember, EvoPsych is a pseudoscience.</p><p><a href="https://veganism.social/tags/primate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>primate</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/alpha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alpha</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/domination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>domination</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/pastoralism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pastoralism</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/domination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>domination</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/hierarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hierarchy</span></a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>So, I've been revisiting some of my past experiences with my old coven. I reunited with several coven-mates last year, and discovered that my old tradition -- <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Alexandrian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alexandrian</span></a> -- had split into two factions -- one that accepted transwomen, and one that didn't. If I ever decide to get back into it again, guess which faction I'd choose. And yeah -- unfortunately power dynamics, hierarchy and potential emotional and psychological abuse happens a lot in "religious" groups -- even <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pagan</span></a> ones.</p><p>I've managed to summarize the "Pros" and "Cons" of my joining a coven all those years ago...</p><p>Reasons I joined the coven:</p><p>1. Earth-centered religion with a political focus (Thomas Morton Alliance)<br>2. I learned Welsh from my high priestess.<br>3. My high priestess was a very intelligent, feminist, who espoused matriarchy, egalitarianism, and who was a Marxist anti-capitalist and a role model for me.<br>4. One of my coven-mates became my gay best friend (we're still BFFs).<br>5. Another coven-mate taught me traditional plant medicine and herbalism.</p><p>Reasons I left the coven:</p><p>1. I was pigeon-holed into "feminine" roles in rituals (even though I identified as NB and more masculine than feminine).<br>2. Over-bearing "acting" high priest (AIM member who was a bit of a bully).<br>3. Over-bearing coven-mate (AIM member) was distrustful of gay best friend (and was homophobic).<br>4. "Feminist" high priestess allowed herself to become emotionally and financially dependent on over-bearing coven-mate, refused to accept help from coven-mates (like having a room-mate, or other mutual aid), and when over-bearing coven-mate ran off with a younger, female coven-mate, high priestess fell apart -- eventually taking her own life (despite the support of the coven -- which soon fell apart as well).</p><p>And some folks wonder why I'm a solitary (though most of my witchy / Pagan friends understand why).<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PaganPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PaganPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GroupDynamics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GroupDynamics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hierarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hierarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhatSomeWitchesDid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatSomeWitchesDid</span></a></p>
