It seems to first come from MRA spaces, but then I seen some TERFs co-opt it, and even the FDS subreddit uses some of that logic?

Is this really interpretation people are getting from nature? I did see FDS, and TERFs try to compare humans to bee social structures which is a weird take.

    These people don’t apply it to labor though, it’s usually about, you guessed it, procreation. A woman can only have one child at a time, but a man can impregnate many women at once. Not that this is how any society has ever organized itself (except upper classes keeping harems etc.) but we don’t care about facts, we only care about wild speculation.
