Small-Scale Question Sunday for May 4, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I think it would be pretty fantastic if you actually dug into the logic underlying any of your frequent pronouncements on this subject, rather than acting as though your highly-idiosyncratic perspective should be straightforwardly obvious.

A few questions to help the process along:

  • Is the parent-child relationship also obviously a form of prostitution for sociobiological reasons? If not why not? Or depending on how one drew the lines, is it more analogous to simping?

  • How does the purported adversarial relationship with sex "emerge" in traditionalist relationships? Is this why their marriages observably last much longer, and why they report much higher rates of satisfaction with those marriages? How does this emergent adversarial relationship with sex interact with the consistent reports of higher sexual satisfaction among such traditionalists?
