Hmm, that's an interesting point; I may have underestimated the involvement of HBD-type factors, the Hajnal line, etc, which I intellectually know are factors but don't tend to think about much. (The studies I was thinking of were modern, not historical, but I don't know off the top of my head the demographic makeup of the men studied.) But I conversely think you underestimate the impact of modern feminism. The age of consent memeplex clearly centers the idea of protecting young women from predation, at the expense of the male sex drive; that men who argue with it have freakish degenerate outlier desires is a subordinate claim its supporters make, and not something consistently sincerely believed. Sometimes they even say the opposite, that they are trying to avoid giving men social permission to do something that they already want to do and are looking for excuses for. Women have generally been the drivers of gender politics since at least suffrage.
I did initially assume greater hostility from you than was real, but not confidently; it was out of confusion towards what I still perceive as a strange meta-contrarian stance.
