I am interested in the aetiology and genesis of this pattern of behaviour (which is indeed empirically attested), specifically in the British context. What kind of pressures cause and sustain such behaviour? Do you have any literature (by you or others) on that?
It’s just the view I developed myself. Call it Hartian pragmatism if you want, I don’t know about Evola or Acc. Sex is a war...people die over love! “All’s fair in love and war.” Rome and Juliet! And if you don’t die...your genes aren’t passed on—a sort of death!

When you put it like that, yes; though ‘war’ used in that sense is somewhat metaphoric. I think in an *actual* war, you must be able to truly detest your enemy, & be ready to exterminate him if needed—& I can’t see that attitude to women. A desire to dominate? Yes. But not detest

1. von Clausewitz spoke of necessary force. Threaten to”exterminate” your enemy and he will fight to the death & strongly, not a logical military strategy! Leave him room to surrender!

2. Soldiers don’t hate (maybe fanatics & terrorists do). They respect their opponent and honour him (her). They don’t detest either. They see the game of war (love) and try to play as honourably as possible, although the stakes are high.

3. "The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.” —Nietzsche. Love, like war, an adventurous game of play.
