That's snappier but it kind of implies that the belief comes from vanity - pacing undue value on nurture because it's the work they do. That may be true but it's not the same as saying that it's evolutionarily beneficial for them to believe their work is important.

Yes, I agree with that. So you think that women have a strong instinct to rear children (so they'd choose to forgo childcare and stay at home) and men don't (so, they'd choose not to spend time with kids). Is that right?

No. But to get back to the point, sorry, I just find a lot of these traits quite vague and I like to define them. If women are 'nurturing' presumably they choose to look after children rather than use childcare? And men choose not to look after children?

Is anyone actually proposing that, on AVERAGE, a female homo sapiens (a mammal, as in derived from "mammary") wouldn't have an innate tendency to nurture--especially since human infants are totally helpless at birth (due to large cranium)? As always, notice AVERAGE caveat above

I'm wondering what that means in terms of modern behaviour. As in, does it mean women choose to stay at home or get childcare. Why is this a strange question?

Yes, so that's where culture comes in, right? Many women choose careers and childcare now. The tweet was just meant to address ask why there's a question (from lots of feminists) that some tendency to nurture wouldn't ON AVERAGE be hardwired in human females.

I was talking to Marcus & trying to clarify what he meant by 'nurture'. Did you think I was replying to another tweet?

not really arguing with you particularly--just bringing up a point.
