The "if male, do this / if female, do that" was honed over the hundreds of thousands of years of specialized roles.

Huh? I agree that sexual dimorphism exists (honed over 100K+ years of roles), but I don't think you're addressing the technical argument that NEW dimorphisms are slow to evolve?

In an environment where taller hunters do better, I expect selection for alleles that make both sexes taller, even though height is sexually dimorphic and even though women aren't doing any of the hunting. Do you disagree? Why would cooperation/fairness be different?

A tall woman still acts like and performs the role of a woman - no downside to it other than metabolic costs. Cooperation and fairness are *behavioral* which means they go through the behavioral filter - they get put in a context of what women do vs what men do 1/x

"Fairness" drive in men is around hunting and war parties - it involves treating people differently. "Risk your neck, get rewarded" "Fairness" drive in women is around raising small children and dealing with each other - BAP's "longhouse culture" "Everyone gets the same" 2/x

Same genes, different programs because of pre-existing differences. Same for cooperation. 3/x

Cooperation for men involves actually cooperating to achieve a task since accomplishing tasks is actually important to disposable men. For women, "cooperation" means no one gets angry enough to cause a social fracture - they ruthlessly enforce "everyone be nice" 4/x

Men being selected for "ability to cooperate" doesn't result in the same effects in women. The pre-existing split gets intensified b/c any mal-adaptive changes these genes are introducing into women's social behavior aren't getting weeded out. 5/x

Using the same word "cooperative" for both sexes is misleading. Men are selected for cooperation - defined as the ability to form a working group that can perform a task. Women being "cooperative" looks like an entirely different thing. 6/6

"coordination" is a good word for the ability-for-the-group-to-accomplish-task concept http://unremediatedgender.space/2020/Jan/book-review-the-origins-of-unfairness/ …
