      I don't know what that means. Culture tends to try to mitigate nature in various ways. Don't know of any that think we shld go with it

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

      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

      but saying "FGM is an evolutionary mate control process" is bonkers.

      Mothers are the main enforcers, they are not protecting the reproductive success of future husbands.

      No, their daughters. Make them marriageable. But FGM is abt controlling women's sexuality & the drive to do this is rooted in biology.

          that is an hypothesis (makes marriageable to assure reproduction) reputation, income from marriage, etc explain as well, needs to be proven

          I don't think anyone is thinking 'I must make my daughters marriageable so they have children & continue my genes' no. Being simplistic.

          yes, the argument when made like that is simplistic, what i'am saying it is done a lot, not by laymen, in evPsy publications, and podcats
