male: “I’m going to have a million kids or die trying”
female: “how do I make sure all my children survive and also everyone else I’m related to?”
Unfortunately part of the female strategy is to try to get the “successful” male genes into her sons.
the other weird part about this is that the same 99% of the genes can be directed to one or the other strategy depending on if they are cohabiting with a tiny Y chromosome…
