Evolutionary psychology doubters need to read this paper so that they can see/appreciate the level of sophistication in the theorizing/methods:https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-clinpsy-050817-084854?journalCode=clinpsy …

I’ve never read an EP thinker who only postulated the existence of domain-specific mechanisms and no general ones. This section baffles me

Its really not caricature if they are citing papers. Gender whackos are wrong in their blank slatism, but that does not mean that some of the their criticisms of evo-psych are unfounded. There is a decided lack of epistemic rigor in most of "science" today, incl evo-psych ...

The caricature is not in citing, although it is done in a simplistic and condescending way, but in the conclusion, mainly "determined and fixed". If you want to criticize the methodology of Evo Psych you shouldn't straw-man it.
