Mrrzy... "Female animals, in contrast, do choose mates, and some theorize that it is that cshoosing ability in particular that got all evolved into intelligence..."

Well now, that is quite a postulate... and very insightful in that it is not only possible but quite likely.

Or, it could be that intelligent males said, "She looks good and she had a good head on her shoulders. I think I should fuck her if I can."

I am just offering a different "choice" theory eh?

Men are not stupid anymore than women, even though saying so is grounds for retribution in this day and age.
