"the censure of female sexuality in theology is a form of men to ensure sexual success by limiting other males access."

That is an argument about motivations - ideological. But mate-guarding instincts predate primates & finds its way into cultural morality.

sure, but stating cause and effect needs analyses of multiple competing explanatory hypothesis, popEvPsy is really bad at that.

it's not just motivation, it's a wrong argument about how theology came to be, whats driving it, it's certainly incomplete.

a killer example of bad thinking in evPsy "Man are selected to have many children" wrong. sex drive is selected, if it was number of kids..

rich countries would have more kids, not less & sperm banks would be 24/7 as man with no investment could have dozens in short time & die

Yes, but I'm not arguing this. Of course, evolution favoured men who spread their seed about a lot but this doesn't mean they think this way

I think it was Richard Dawkins who made the sperm bank analogy to explain the difference between evolutionary drives & individual motivation
