Men Will Never Truly Understand A Day In The Life of Women. But Shouldn’t We Try?

78. people with agendas abuse science all the time

evolutionary biology is a real field, evolutionary pshychology? I don't know much about that - maybe it is legit (although in the hard sciences, the social sciences tend to be sneered at a bit) but what some group or person tries to justify by using data/observations from real science can be totally WRONG.

What wingdinger said about teeth-baring behavior in primates is a verifiable, repeatable, easily observed behavior. It is a threat reduction behavior.

Men telling others to smile may indeed have roots in that behavior (and the act of dominating as well),

Don't discount the science which CAN show the roots of some behaviors because some asshole with an agenda is using that science as an excuse for something. Explaining and understanding something does not mean it can't be changed or halted. It merely adds to the picture. The over-all advantage we have evolved to have is in fact our adaptability - we can change behaviors and we are social. That makes for plenty of flexibility in individuals' actions.
