		<description>&quot;The losers in polygyny? Extremely desirable women, who can monopolize an extremely desirable man under monogamy but are forced to share in a polygynous model.&quot;

Seriously? An extemely desirable woman is the loser because she has &quot;lower&quot; herself to have the same as average women? That&#039;s your loser? Not the whole majority of men that are left alone by the workings of this model?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sorry, is the last point trying to claim that women aren&#039;t treated any worse than men in the workplace? If the rest of the article wasn&#039;t so well written, I would write the author off as a troll. I don&#039;t doubt that both men and women suffer &quot;degrading, intimidating and abusive treatment&quot; in the workplace. But on what basis do you assert that this treatment is equally distributed? Where are the studies to back up this outrageous claim? Where is your evidence that women find it as easy to gain respect in the workplace as men do? That men and women are as frequently humiliated and demeaned for reasons that have nothing to do with their actions? Just because you made up a theory and put it on the internet doesn&#039;t make it so.

The section on polygyny is also a annoyingly sexist. It arbitrarily decides that sharing a &quot;high quality&quot; man is better than being exclusive with a  &quot;low quality&quot; man. First, different woman have different ideas about what a &quot;high quality&quot; man is. I don&#039;t know if you noiced this, but women are less uniform than men about what constitutes attractiveness. We&#039;re also less less likely than men to select a mate based on appearance (with all the studies you&#039;ve clearly looked at, shouldn&#039;t you have figured that out by now?). Wealth is also only one of many attributes to look for in mate selection. Like attractiveness, wealth is not going to make me tear my clothes off and disregard any negative traits he may have. So why would you assume there&#039;s enough of a difference between &quot;high quality&quot; and  &quot;low quality&quot; to justify having to share? Come to that, why is it mandatory to have a husband at all? I know that if I&#039;m not ecstatic about a man, I wouldn&#039;t marry him just because he&#039;s the best I can find.

You seem like an intelligent, well-meaning person. Do a little reading about women and their place in this society, and I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll sort things out.</description>

		<description>The last one, about men hazing women, I don&#039;t agree.  Or maybe I do.  I&#039;ve had a man behave assholish-ly towards me...like turning his back to me when I speak to him, walk away, etc.  I would understand if I was acting meanly towards him, but I&#039;m not.  I treat him like every other man I interact with.  The thing is, he&#039;s not all that, he doesn&#039;t significantly outrank me.  I&#039;m even good friends with his girlfriend!  My advice is to react just as men will: cursing, pissed off, and telling them to fuck off.</description>

		<description>@ Jezz you do know that as far as pheromones in humans go scientists have yet to conclusively identify a single such chemical in humans. Recent research showed that at about the same time our primate ancestors gained color vision, they also lost the genes for so-called vomeronasal organ (VNO) receptors. Non-human animals use the organ to detect pheromones.</description>
