more a normal consequence of dimorphism & human control of "seen as weak" than encoding evo principles, same with 19th cent views on race.

sorry. Saying that cause i see a lot that parallel in PopEvPsy, as if there's some mystical mechanism for culture to enshrine evo principle

that's a really poor, simplistic, bad evPsy, catolic priests don't have children (often), what is selected is sex drive, not number of kids

theology, as first moral codes and laws, enshrine rules of control over others, they are not a function of evolutionary principle.

I still don't know what you mean. What do you think is responsible for our moral foundations?

our evolution yes. those dynamics and socially regulatory emotions are drive for codes of law, and group living co-habitating norms

And this is what I am arguing. Biology explains gender differences better than theology but theology is good evidence of its consistency.
