When I read some of the criteria for manipulation on Wikipedia [0] it seems to me like a pretty high bar to show these sorts of behaviours in monkeys.

If you have a problem with the post, state what it is. Bashing HN for whatever "hive" you see it containing is baiting.
It's a factual statement, not baiting, to observe that her comment was [flagged] instantly for containing a passing "downvoting" remark, while the original comment is still one of the highest voted comments in this thread. This confirms that, indeed, the HN audience does not see any serious problems with the statement: "Females have evolved to extract resources from males.", which is exemplified by your request to st…

I'd be very interested in your explanation of the joke. Please elaborate in as much detail as you can.
The joke is we're primates too, and human females do this all of the time, you can see this in the motif of two heros(one "good" and the other "bad") fighting for a female, "golddigger" being most of the time attributed to the female, to the psychological game called "Rapo" where a female entices a particular male's attention so that another male would fight the first male, and so an and so on.

How do you mean "restricted to humans"? What exact cases do you have in mind?
What the hell is going on here? Why are you being downvoted for politely asking for clarification?

I think this is a reductionist point of view. There are bazillions of cases in which is not true. Female lions for example.
I think he means restricted to humans. In the animal kingdom you have uncommon scenarios such as seahorses where the male caries the fertilized eggs or spiders where many times the male is just eaten by the female.
