A recent book on the evolution of rape (Thornhill and Palmer, A Natural History of Rape: Biological Bases of Sexual Coercion , MIT Press, 2000) has exacerbated hostile relations between evolutionists and feminists. This and earlier works, and critical responses by feminists, are considered in a broader context. Disagreements condense around several themes, including the contrast between science and ideology, hierarchies of explanation proposed by evolutionists, the use of metaphor and the word rape by evolutionists, mistrust of evolutionists' motives by feminists, and disagreements about what constitutes human nature. Although all are serious issues, chief among them is the problem of naturalism and its fallacies: what relation may empirical evidence bear to ethical and political policy? Naive poles of naturalism and anti-naturalism are criticized, and more temperate naturalisms are reviewed and recommended. The goal of synthesizing feminist and evolutionary accounts of rape is discussed as to its urgency...

Humans have some unique qualities for a primate, if not a mammal. For example, men systematically align themselves and are aligned with a woman-child dyad. In the Sex Contract , Fisher has proffered a synopsis of behavioral traits which facilitated, if not caused, the alignment. For any contract to be effective, penalties or threats of penalties for violations must be available. Available sanctions by a man toward Aviolating' woman are manifest: no food, no protection, physical punishment. These sanctions have been well documented in the literature. Available sanctions by a woman toward Aviolating' man are argued to be just as real, but more indirect and subtle. One example of these putative sanctions is argued to be an increased vulnerability to a psycho-emotional ¤ shut-down', i.e. depression. Accordingly, the consistent over representation of women in recorded incidences of depression (28 of 29 countries) may be better understood when also viewed through this biocultural filter. A complementary, if not...

Gender differences in communication styles have been observed in subjects of all ages, in many cultures. This study was designed to see whether such gender differences persist in happily married couples. Observers coded the nonverbal behaviors of 40 happily married US couples who were videotaped discussing commitment in marriage. Although these couples showed no significant sex differences in marital satisfaction (as measured by the MARQ of Russell and Wells) or in verbal statements regarding commitment, robust sex differences in the following nonverbal behaviors emerged: smiling, laughing, and average length of look at spouse (t-test for matched pairs, p <0.01). Wives looked significantly longer, as if listening attentively; husbands used shorter glances at wives, suggesting a monitoring function. Results were consistent across age and length of marriage. Experimenter effects were seen, in that husbands were more likely to speak first with a male experimenter, and discussions went on longer with a female...
