I'd say that that supposed role reversal happens within a patriarchal context, which makes it not a meaningful reversal.

It happens within the context produced by men & women. Women & men have different power around sex.

Isn't biological determinism kind of a shaky ground for a theory about how society is (or isn't) changing over time?

??? Biological aspects look at human animals, not society. Society is made up of human animals so all is relevant in different ways.

Biological determinism is pseudoscience akin to the naturalistic fallacy. Genuine biological research shows us to be overlapping populations

And my point was that all the layers in between need to be explained as well. Instead of shortcutting it bottom to top.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I'm not sure what that means. We can look at culture without considering biology & biology without considering culture. 1/2

I'd suggest that it is beneficial to consider both when talking about things like gender relations.

I agree with that. But I also think we shouldn't shortcut, e.g. "women are animals and like sex, ergo misogyny is not relevant"

I'd hope everyone would think that. Unfortunately, any focus on biology at all tends to be read this way.
