I have tried to make clear that I am mainly aiming at a pre- technological past, in considering this matter, though I am willing to comment on some elements that might be current. I do not understand on what basis you are assuming a well- planned system of reproduction. Your point about over- population is hilariously wrong. Yes, sometimes there is local imbalance, but over- all, we would never have flourished as a species without population growth. We know how male homosexuals tend to behave, and it is in sharp contrast to the behavior of lesbians, who form stable, lifelong relationships easily. Indeed, one of the worst features of the outbreak of the AIDs epidemic was the unwillingness of most gay leadership to promote monogamy or even safe sex. The bathhouse culture is not a result of the unavailability of marriage. There is very good reason to be dubious about the attachment of men to their offspring, if the bond is attenuated. Male sexual proclivities practically guarantee insecure domestic relationships. I meant to say "mother and father", not "mother and child". Sorry for the mistake. There is no reason to suppose that some males would not show antisocial forms of aggression against other males. It is much more likely to go the other way, in fact. I am afraid that you have established nothing that would offset the concerns I have raised, but if you tire of the back and forth, I understand..........
