Of course they do. Everyone is very familiar with men's behaviour on this. But we seldom hear about women's strategies in this sense, since they tend to be covert buttressed by the belief that men are the default cause and effect of male-female problems.
And if we need any kind of "equality" of the sexes then we need to see beyond a strictly feminist discourse which has considerable blind spots within its beliefs.
And just because women get stalked or attacked - which they undoubtedly do - does not negate the hypothesis (I'd say reality) - that's just a straw-man argument
It appears to be hard-wired psychobiosocial response for many.
You speak as if it were a fact that there is a belief that men are the default cause of 'male/female' problems. (Not sure what you mean by 'male/female problems' I'm guessing relationship problems. ) I don't have this belief and I don't personally know anyone who does. In other people's relationship problems I don't generally feel qualified to know what the cause/effect was. Sometimes people just grow apart
Well there are many different kinds of 'feminist discourse' so I' not sure there exists just the one that has 'it's beliefs'. Radical feminists for example don't seek 'equality' in the same way that someone who simply wants equal opportunities.
Well I thought it was a somewhat straw dog hypothesis which I guess boils down to it being an opinion or a theory. Nothing wrong with it being an opinion or a theory at all but the pseudoscience that often accompanies these things can pose as something actually scientifically true. It's not truly a scientific hypothesis because it is not quantifiable, cannot be tested to be confirmed or denied. Hence it's an opinion/theory.
Who is to say who is is demonstrating a hard wired psychobiological response ? How do they know. You have a belief/opinion/theory you are quite entitled to but it's not a fact.
In some other thread a while back you said all young women did a certain thing and I thought 'no, I have actually been a young woman and I didn't do that'. I guess it is difficult not to generalise at times but we are all people.
Sure. I wasn't necessarily talking about this particular relationship as definitive, rather as a spring-board for beliefs that do indeed exist if you do the research and appraise one's own experience and that of others. And yes, it is most certainly a fact amongst many other hypotheses on a wide range of social science and gender issues which then often translate as beliefs. That doesn't necessarily mean I see it as fact but I do think it is compelling since I have direct experience of it and from my male and female friends. That you haven't come across this yet and don't know anyone that has, doesn't mean much. None of us know all there is to know - that's why it's so interesting.
Indeed. There are many different kinds of feminism (there's a belief for you) but I'd submit that most of feminism in general is achieving the exact reverse of equality. Radical feminism is simply a caricature of an aleady flawed "-isim." But that is a whole other subject though very much connected. You might get a good idea of some the reasons why many men and women object to the standard fare of modern, Western feminism in it's current form if you go here: http://womenagainstfeminism.com/ That's a good introduction prior to looking at more academic explorations and how this belief is rather corrosive to both sexes.
Dismissing the hypothesis by jumping to women being stalked and attacked IS a straw man argument. The presentation of a hypothesis "some theorists believe" is not a strawman argument. An opinion is nothing more than that - something without evidence at all. Contrary to that assumption, there is a great deal of evidence from social science and case studies that such a hypothesis (something that has partial or limited evidence, thus a supposition) actually veers toward a possible truth. I'll be happy to supply you with the studies if you wish.
Some theorists believe this to be an unconscious survival strategy which has developed over many centuries of female oppression when women were used and dumped like chattel with little means to feed their kids. It appears to be hard-wired psychobiosocial response for many. Which is why some women can become apoplectic with rage if the guy ends the relationship before such a strategy is enacted.
Anyhow, I know this is a contentious issue. If you wish to discuss it further we can always take it to open space to prevent going off topic even further.
