should there be more solidarity amongst the sisters?

Question

since the primary determinate of social organization is sexual selection. we can observe in chimpanzee societies the female is isolated unable to fend off aggressive males. we can also observe that chimps are more warlike. whereas in bonobo (almost biologically identical to chimps) societies there is more bonding amongst the bonobo sisters enabling them to fend off the more aggressive males producing a more peacful cooperative culture.

can or should social organization be engineered in this manner?

human social organization while more complex lies inbetween these two extremes.

social engineering like this has been done before. see: the bible

Answer 1

I don't agree with VJ that women are necessarily viscious to each other. I have been in work situations where the women bonded and became very good friends and confidants. It was a matter of survival in one job, and just a matter of preference in another job. I have also been in work situations where women were very viscious to each other. I attributed it to two factors: (1) It was in a very economically depressed area where the job market was very tight and competitive. (2) It was in a very closed and conservative small town where people distrusted and hated "outsiders". If the local women knew you were from elsewhere, they wanted to eliminate you. I thought this was very unfortunate because I have always put a high value on my women friends. You can share things with other women that you can't with men. I feel sorry for women who only consider other women to be enemies. You don't know what you're missing out on. There is a lot to be learned from other women, about relationships, health, dealing with work issues, on and on. I think any kind of social "engineering" is wrong, but it does happen on a lot of levels.

Answer 2

You cannot engineer social organization. That is a natural order in life.

Humans are social creatures among primary and immediate family, but we are also territorial creatures. Women can be very aggressive toward other females. It's natural, especially when trying to attract a mate. Women can be downright vicious, even to people they'd call their friends. But that's just the way it is. That is our social order.

Answer 3

NOW became very unpopular because it was successful. right wingers very adept at the negative spin developed Femi Nazi as the catch word.
women got scared off not wanting to be associated with that word instead of fighting the negative stigma.
and many more things have caused Dem's and minorities to run from the stigma instead of working past it through it and successfully advocating and organizing.
