I’m not American so don’t assume I’m a product of American cultural “brainwashing" thanks. It’s not the empowering feminist statement you think it is, it’s condescending as fuck.

It’s also very sexist of you to go “doesn’t matter what you consciously think you want, your biology means you actually want multiple men to impregnate you on a subconscious level". It’s been tens of thousands of years since precivilisation. I’m not homo erectus. I’m not a bonobo. I’m a human living in 2021 and while there are definitely many similarities between us and apes, and there are many things that we do on a subconscious level as mammals, our identities today are based on our CONSCIOUS decisions. So unless you want to completely invalidate conscious desires as “not real" and instead use the behaviour of other apes to tell us women what we “really want"…

The evolutionary science is interesting, but it’s a stretch to go from “the way we moan could have evolved as a way to signal to other males in the jungle that we wanted to be impregnated" to “the way we moan NOW is still for the same reason".
