Huh? What are you reading? Even in the least generous reading, it’s equally unfavorable to men, who practice intersexual competition to even more outrageous and deadly effect. But this kind of reductionism is shared by random people on Twitter, not by academics.

One aspect of
@IonaItalia's comment that I really agree with, which I've been thinking about a lot (and am slowly developing an article about), is that the evolutionary importance of friendship in general (for both males and females) has been under-emphasized in many evo models.2 replies 2 retweets 37 likes -

Women have more "best friendships", but these friendships are more prone to "catastrophic breakdowns" https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/943772518523002881 … also: Gossiphttps://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/984056250416721921 …

You have a habit of making sweeping generalizations about human behavior on the basis of limited data from a small number of societies.

Mainly, I have the habit of conscientiously reporting noteworthy peer reviewed research findings (and THEIR generalizations), allowing for readers to make up their opinion and start a discussion, kind of post peer review.

Those claims by Dunbar are based on very weak and limited data, you see that right? Did you check the references? You're going to tell me an internet survey done in the UK taken by 200 people can tell you about patterns of friendship across cultures?

Dunbar's claims which I correctly reported are actually based on two surveys, the one about catastrophic breakdowns being based on 540 participants, the other on 293, but also involving a wider literature review. Shouldn't I have reported this stuff?
