A new study by the Department of Anatomy and Anthropology at Tel Aviv University
Probably bad research
FACT: Neanderthal men were caked up and constantly bounced on it.
So patriarchy is the reason my ass isn’t as fat as it could be
Women are ~~bourgeoisie~~ neanderthals
things you hear in command chat playing Hell Let Loose: "commander could I get a heavy bottom"
Very interesting! Made me realize something that I had never thought about before - basically every single biology class will teach that the order of operations was the opposite, that women evolved wider hips for giving birth, a framing which seems like common sense only because we are taught to see men as the "default" in most contexts.
Which is bass ackwards, right? IIRC my anthropology other animals and even other great apes have nowhere as difficult childbirth as humans. Wide birthing hips is the norm in the animal kingdom, being bipedal I think favors narrower pelvic structure, and of course baby humans have big ol' noggins for their big ol' brains. Even delivering them while their skulls are still soft is still a harrowing balancing act.
But it had not occurred to me to think of it in this light, that narrower male hips evolve because being even more better at walking is an advantage with no cost because males aren't the ones delivering babies.
and they said it was impossible for there to be a species of fat-assed femboys!
Male Neanderthals were the original twinkdeath.

You might not like it, but this is what peak maleness looks like.
