Evolution and the teaching of Women's Inferiority

[Immortal4life]

One aspect of the Theory of Evolution that many people forget about, is the teaching that men are superior to women.

 

For over 50 years scientists held on to the theory that Man was a ''Mighty Hunter'', a great ape which came down from the trees, saw the Savannah with all these animals running around, picked up a weapon, and started chasing and killing them all. Competition for mates, killing of animals for food, competition for power, as well as combat and war caused the so-called ''natural selection'' to have a much greater effect on males than females. Men evolved much faster and much greater than women. Some Evolutionists even classify Men and Women as 2 distinct evolutionary species, males as homo frontalis, and females as homo parietalis.

 

The true purpose for the fabrication of evolutionary theory becomes quite clear. Man can now be said to be a ''Mighty Hunter'', a killer, and a weapon wielder while women are now parasites, sexual objects, and symbols of status that men compete for.

 

Unfortunately for evolutionists, the idea of apes evolving into humans by becoming hunters who ran around on the Savannah was completely debunked by the 1990s, and even evolutionists have to admit it is not true. Evolutionists no longer have any explanation for what happened when apes took the alleged first steps to evolving into human beings, or how that possibly happened. Evolutionists were so quick to claim the Australapithicus Apes or ''Lucy'', to be a human relative, and some even claimed it was an ancestor of humans. It ended up biting them in the ass when it came out that ''Lucy'' lived in the trees, and was not a hunter. In fact, as it turns out, Lucy was prey and was hunted by Lions, Tigers, and Sabretooths.

 

Here is part of a documentary explaining how the theory of evolution is designed to slander the intelligence and equality of women-

The history of the teaching of human female inferiority in Darwinism-

http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v14/i1/females.asp

The central mechanism of Darwinism is natural selection of the fittest, requiring differences in organisms from which nature can select. As a result of natural selection, inferior organisms are more likely to become extinct, and the superior groups are more likely to thrive and leave a greater number of offspring.1

 

The biological racism of late 19th century Darwinism is now both well documented and widely publicized. Especially influential in the development of biological racism was the theory of eugenics developed by Charles Darwin’s cousin, Sir Francis Galton.2,3

 

Less widely known is that many evolutionists, including Darwin, taught that women were biologically and intellectually inferior to men. The intelligence gap that Darwinists believed existed between males and females was not minor, but of a level that caused some evolutionists to classify the sexes as two distinct psychological species, males as homo frontalis and females as homo parietalis.4 Darwin himself concluded that the differences between male and female humans were so enormous that he was amazed that ‘such different beings belong to the same species’ and he was surprised that ‘even greater differences still had not been evolved.’5

 

Sexual selection was at the core of evolution, and female inferiority was its major proof and its chief witness. Darwin concluded that males were like animal breeders, shaping women to their liking by sexual selection.6 In contrast, war pruned weaker men, allowing only the strong to come home and reproduce. Men were also the hunting specialists, an activity that pruned weaker men. Women by contrast, ‘specialized in the “gathering” part of the primitive economy.’7

 

Male superiority was so critical for evolution that George stated:

 

‘The male rivalry component of sexual selection was “the key,” Darwin believed, to the evolution of man: of all the causes which have led to the differences … between the races of man … sexual selection has been the most efficient.’ 8

 

Natural selection struggles existed between groups, but were ‘even more intense among members of the same species, which have similar needs and rely upon the same territory to provide them with food and mates.’9 For years, evolution theorists commonly taught that the intense struggle for mates within the same species was a major factor in producing male superiority.

 

Darwin’s ideas, as elucidated in his writings, had a major impact on society and science. Richards concluded that Darwin’s views about women followed from evolutionary theory, ‘thereby nourishing several generations of scientific sexism.’10 Morgan added that Darwin inspired scientists to use biology, ethnology and primatology to support the theories of women’s ‘manifestly inferior and irreversibly subordinate’ status.11

 

The reasons justifying the belief in the biological inferiority of women are complex, but Darwinism was a major factor, especially Darwin’s natural and sexual selection ideas. The extent of the doctrine’s effect can be gauged by the fact that the inferiority-of-women conclusion has heavily influenced theorists from Sigmund Freud to Havelock Ellis, who have had a major role in shaping our generation.12 As eloquently argued by Durant, both racism and sexism were central to evolution:

 

‘Darwin introduced his discussion of psychology in the Descent by reasserting his commitment to the principle of continuity … [and] … Darwin rested his case upon a judicious blend of zoomorphic and anthropomorphic arguments. Savages, who were said to possess smaller brains and more prehensile limbs than the higher races, and whose lives were said to be dominated more by instinct and less by reason … were placed in an intermediate position between nature and man; and Darwin extended this placement by analogy to include not only children and congenital idiots but also women, some of whose powers of intuition, of rapid perception, and perhaps of imitation were “characteristic of the lower races, and therefore of a past and lower state of civilization”’ (Descent 1871:326–327).13

That is total BS and is totally unsupportable referrencing anything that Darwin ever wrote.

 

Look at the Christian Bible if you want to see some denigrating of the female sex!!!!! In fact, look at the Moslem religion!!!

 

Would you please leave Darwin to rest in peace?!?!?!? He was a great man and you are not only doing him a disservice but doing yourself a disservice by trying to spread these lies about him.

Agreed in full!!

 

Immortal4life you have officially become an evangelizing troll whose delusional proselytizing has officially entered the category of spam and should be treated as such by the moderators.

 

Please go find another forum that is more compatible with your tripe.

Whatever your beliefs or opinions about what I may or may not be are, they do not change the fact that Evolution is an idea thought up by males, with male biases, attempting to make sexism into a scientific fact.

Come on, man!!! Back during Darwin's time women weren't allowed into the sciences. The Holy Christian Church prevented them from becoming something other than a plaything and servant for men.

 

Talk about sexism!!! The Catholics still don't allow women to preach. But they can be the plaything for the Men of the Church.

 

No, it is religion that is the hardest on women. During the time of the revolution in China all religion was banned and women had the same rights and responsibilities as did men.

 

Evolution has nothing to do with this. It is the powerful men in religions who try to keep women in a subordinate position.

Immortal, you've used some weak arguments in the past. This is amongst the weakest. Not only are you setting up a straw dog argument, as others point out, your treading on one of religions weakest points, ie woman as 2nd class citizens.

[Immortal4life]

What you don't realize is that this is not a pro-religious argument.

 

Yes many religions believe women to be second class citizens, but if evolution were true, the implications would also be that women are inferior.

 

But you know what the weakest argument of all is? Saying "well, religions are a form of sexism too!"

(I enjoyed doing that. Hehehe.)

 

But your thoughts are valid in a way although I personally see no like to Darwin or evolution.

 

John Lennon expressed this thought very well in his song "Woman Is The (N-word) Of The World". And I agree with the words of the song in the most part.

Actually there's much weaker arguments then that. Most Western religions tend to have been historically sexist, certainly the Abrahamic ones. But then through most, but not all, of history societies have tended to be sexist too. Hard to say which led to which.

 

If evolution were true then the implication is woman are inferior?? I don't follow that, I don't think its part of evolutionary theory.

 

but

 

I'd also say it has zip to do w/ evolution. Whether or not human evolution is true, the idea of cave people and the mighty hunter is independent of it. People lived in caves and hunted.
