    Geoffrey Miller Retweeted Rob Henderson

    A quote from a little essay called 'Political peacocks' that I published in 1996 -- I think it might have been one of the first analyses of 'social justice activism' as a form of virtue-signaling and mating effort.https://twitter.com/robkhenderson/status/1092202816301645824 …

    Geoffrey Miller added,

    Rob Henderson @robkhenderson
    "...the benefits of expressing political ideology are usually not political at all, but social and sexual." This fascinating paper from @primalpoly fits w what I've observed on campuses. Preoccupation w social and career prospects- proxies for mate value? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2a71bf7e0ab3ba886cea3/t/58e941c39f745637229e760c/1491681796247/1996+political+peacocks2.pdf … pic.twitter.com/Dvq0jeuaF2

        The ancient Greeks didn't have sexual selection theory or signaling theory to work with.

        By "finding it odd" (that college students care about the plight of poor blacks under apartheid), I take it you mean that it's an evolutionary puzzle, and not that you see no reason to feel sympathy.

        Sorry to say male university students have known that for years and join left wing campus groups for that reason

        Men who spout leftistry for the off-chance of getting to second base are failing to understand the rules and doing it wrong - my latest argument with a semi-extremist Swedish feminist, in which I was an incorrigible essentialist troglodyte, ended with her tongue down my throat.

        What of their nationalist opponents with whom they have running battles? The Marxists are often joined by Muslims in these 'anti-racist' protests. Is Islam also 'mating effort'? In which case what is its explanatory value? What forms of 'activism' don't count as 'mating effort'?
