Maybe it's a way to deny them agency and therefore moral responsibility for the results of their actions?
Do monkeys have morals? (Legitimate question.)
Does that count?
I'd say yes.

Is this really manipulation or is it just sexual selection for bravery/aggression/dominance? Are the female monkeys being disingenuous with their attentions or are they sincere? 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.

Males have evolved to extract resources from the environment. Females have evolved to extract resources from males.
There are other places on the internet where you can ply that art if you want to. If you want to continue to post to HN, please behold the damage you wrought and refrain from doing it again here.
A dry and innocuous statement but ever so offensive to some. Love it!
Males have evolved to extract resources from the environment. Females have evolved to extract resources from males.
Second comment from the top, "Women are gold diggers." Screencapping this for when HN's users claim they don't make the tech space awful for women.
Which is not to say that this thread isn't bullshit.

To a woman, a man is the main way in which she interacts with the physical environment.
And yet I bet not too many women interact with you.

Accusing him of being a sock-puppet and I'm going to assume the "armor" bit is either an allusion to "White Knighting" (Which is completely inaccurate here) or "Social Justice Warrior" which is an easy way for you to dismiss his views. Bravo.
In another comment he claims he's been in HN for eight years but this account is like 16 days old. It is a sock-puppet account.

What the hell is going on here? Why are you being downvoted for politely asking for clarification?
Because the question is extremely stupid, he should take an extra 10 seconds and it should be obvious
You should also have better manners than to presuppose "he" when speaking of a fellow user.
You had to get your sock-puppet account for such a low effort comment?! Hope your armor isn't impairing your movement too much.
You're wrong. This is one of many of my (75j's) older accounts. Scroll up for more details on why you're wrong. Oh, and I don't need to white knight for anyone because I'm already married to an extremely attractive woman. How's life for you in that department?
It's also an abuse of this site to create batches of accounts to break the guidelines with. If you've been on HN for years, you ought to know these things.

Hahaha, you triggered some feminists and sensitive political correctness people. And here I thought Hackernews had become one of those disgusting safe spaces where you cannot say anything that could possibly offend a human on planet earth.
The rest of the internet has the opposite priority, so you don't lack for other places to post like this. Please don't do it here.
