[Rainer Feistel (IOW)]

Hello Kate,

Thank you for adding your interesting female contribution to this 
male-dominated discussion.

In my recent paper on the hypothetical reproductive behaviour of early 
hominins, I concluded that
"The new bipedal way of life kicked off a series of grave consequences 
and essential, inevitable changes in the reproductive behaviour. 
Requisite for survival, the resulting alternating and mutually 
counter-acting methods, introduced successively by the two sexes in this 
model, will be described in detail in the following Sections 4-11."

Your statement "My response: Please stick with porn and leave us out of 
the loop" seems to be consistent with those putatively opposed sexual 
interests and activities of the two sexes as a consequence of bipedal gait.

Why do women carry permanent breasts in contrast to all other mammals? 
What is the evolutionary selective advantage or purpose of those?
May I kindly ask you to explain your female perspective?

Rainer
