Trådstartaren är en röra av av logiska felslut och smådesperata provokationer, så jag var tveksam om jag skulle bemöda mig att svara på skräpet.
Men då jag ändå stötte på en hypotes i TS artikel (som TS bevisligen själv inte har läst. Alternativt är för dum för att förstå då TS spyr ut de uppenbara logiska felslut som artikeln tog upp för att reservera sig mot utvecklingsstörda som TS) så kan jag posta den:
Citat:
the evidence does suggest that humor plays a major role in mating, with a strong evolutionary basis. As I have explained in previous posts, women, who undertake the heavier costs of reproduction (pregnancy, breastfeeding) are choosier than men when selecting a mate. Women tend to look for various signal indicators of mate quality, and a great sense of humor is one of them. Humor is strongly correlated with intelligence, which explains why women value men with a great sense of humor, as intelligence was crucial for survival throughout our evolutionary history when we mostly lived in hunter-gatherer groups.
Men, on the other hand, prefer women who laugh at their humor. That means that over our evolutionary history, men likely had to compete harder with other men to impress women with their sense of humor. Plenty of evidence supports this view, showing how important it is for women to find a man with a great sense of humor, while men generally do not place a high value on women's humor production ability.
Regardless of the source of the difference, which is still open for debate, our analysis provides the first comprehensive and systematic review of sex differences in humor ability. Hopefully, more research will follow.
