Summarised by Claude from a sample of 8 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. Natural selection, I think. It's not a term that I was familiar with, but a little digging found this:[0] > The other, minor difference is that men are polygamous, not hypergamous. A man’s imperative is not (necessarily) to get the best woman. It’s to get as many women as possible with as little investment and commitment as possible. If he can do it, he would love to get as many women as possible at and a little bel…

    I am the same 'greenlander' that is referred to in the article. LOL, it's a small world. The only thing I can suggest to all you of guys out there (and I know that 90%-95% of the readership here is 'guys' and not 'chicks') is to get educated. Go read these blogs: http://dalrock.wordpress.com/ http://therationalmale.com/ http://heartiste.wordpress.com/ http://www.rooshv.com/ And why not some books: http://www.amazon.…

    I can recommend reading The Rational Male, he discusses the dynamics of marriage and you get a much better understanding after reading the books or the articles on the website. https://therationalmale.com/ Teaser: women initiate 70+% of the divorces and the reasons they do is not what is shown in the media.

So women will say (and subconsciously think and believe) that breaking up the family is good for the children, when nobody else would agree, so that her decision looks good.

A snippet from his article: In several essays, and in my latest book, I describe women’s natural social order as the Sisterhood Über Alles. That is ‘women above all else’, and from an evolved psychological perspective this solidarity, collectivism and cooperative…
