I got a big beautiful purple cock that I’m genetically programmed to love.

Frequent but unsatisfying.

Penises exist because women selected for them.

Can confirm

There is no "select" only cause & effect.

everything we understand about love, courtship, selection is mixed with (if not 100%) social conditioning

we're not talking about history.. we're talking pre history.

And I already said social conditioning comes into play... But some social constructs are more biologically rooted than others.

For example the idea that blue is associated with boys and pink with girls seems 100% arbitrary and cultural. But the idea men are more violent than women has clear roots is physiology and the division of labor in primitive tribes.

Most of the "negative" traits you cite in men are byproducts of traits that were useful in the prehistoric context.

I guess it depends on how you look at it

beating your wife, the gather part of your hunter gather tribe, is not a beneficial trait...

is it a byproduct? maybe, but it seems to me actually to be a largely separate phenomenon that does follow from a historical influence

It's entirely possible that from an evolutionary standpoint making men so aggressive that they assault women isn't an issue because women can have babies with or without a black eye but men do have to be violent.

I mean men simply are more violent than women and we have a culture of violence. And if male violence doesn't affect women in a way that reduces reproduction then it's possible that evolution is essentially thowing women under the bus and allowing them to be brutalized so that male violence can be maintained as a desirable trait.
