“Feminists tend to dislike Darwinism almost as much as the evangelical creationist does.”
I can think of at least 4 reasons why:
1) It allows men to understand women better than they understand themselves.
2) They probably resent the implication of Darwinism that emotional ways of thinking are actually more primitive than logic. (That emotions and instinct are really the same thing.)
3) They equally resent the idea that all of that emotional baggage they consider their ‘soul’ can be reduced down to a handful of evolutionary concepts.
4) Most importantly. Darwinian thought has always posed a danger to the ‘woman racket’. Armed with evolutionary psychology who’s going to listen to them when they claim that pornography and prostitution are harmful to women when it’s clear to the enlightened that the only ‘harm’ done to women is to lower their sexual market value enough to force the majority of them to have to work.
