Sexual selection yes, and--presumably by some of the very bonding instincts the author is railing against--the author always referred to selection in the same direction. However, the sort of selective methods the author is angry about occur in both mating directions in practice.
- nazgulnarsil 17y agomale pressures and female pressures are not the same. women and men put different amounts of energy and carry different risks into childbearing, thus their mating strategies are different. Since men can mate with little risk they are inherently less choosy about mating partners. In all species the onus of sexual selection is on females (unless a shortage of males occurs, which is always temporary because it introduces pressure for male offspring).
