Humans do this too, on occasion. Apart from the obvious but difficult-to-verify night club anecdotes, here's a well-known historical example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_feather#World_War_I

Wow, in essence this means: "Dear husband, please take that chance to die. Love you, honey"

Not dear husband.

Many of those "men" were teens.

Harassing 15 year olds was not uncommon.

Harassing WWI veterans not in uniform was very common.

It's really just staggering how little anybody understood about what they were really getting themselves into with WW1. All of the horrors of modern, industrial warfare unleashing themselves on a culture still steeped in Victorian attitudes, and general staffs that had absorbed the lessons of Sedan, rather than Petersburg or Mukden.

Males have evolved to extract resources from the environment. Females have evolved to extract resources from males.

Loool ok, not that for the longest time society has dictated that women shouldn't work outside of the home and should be housewives that depend on their husbands.

I made a statement about HN's worrying MRA hive that doesn't appear to see any problem with this top comment, but with mine (btw, you prove my point too).

If you have a problem with the post, state what it is. Bashing HN for whatever "hive" you see it containing is baiting.

The problem is obvious and needs no explanation. The post in question extrapolates that all women are gold diggers from a single study that purports to have found manipulative behavior in a few groups of monkeys.

"The riskiest group activity of all is warfare, and few animals other than humans and monkeys engage in it."

"... few animals other than humans and monkeys engage in it" Birds, ants, killer-whales are but a few I can immediately think of.

There's fighting to survive against a predator, there's fighting competitors for mating access, and then there's fighting between groups of the same animals.

They mean that it's the third option that is rare among animals.

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.

Be sure to also screencap the hundreds of statements made against males in order to keep your perspective accurate.

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.

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?

Please link a few of these hundreds of statements made against males on HN in order to provide accurate evidence for your claim.
