In all species, the relative investment that is made by the male and
the female in their offspring determines the degree of discrimination
exercised by the individual in selecting a partner. In humans, like
many mammals and most animals, females can be expected to be the more
discriminating in their choice of mates. Therefore females limit the
reproductive success of males and men compete with other men for
access to women. Women are the privileged sex, whilst men are
relatively expendable. Women are the privileged sex in all
societies, past, present and future, plus any conceivable
society. Feminism strives to heap privilege upon the already
privileged, and as such, it is worse than counterproductive, it is obscene.
