Nurture not Nature

Well, I’m afraid I have to beg to differ with Dr Feramor there. But then we respect difference here—it would be a poor world if we all thought the same, wouldn’t it? And his opinions are as valid as mine, I’m sure you’d agree. I disagree with Dr Feramor on the genetic causes of this behaviour—it’s nurture not nature—not least because of the sexist assumptions about female roles in the Palaeolithic Era. I unearth the origins of our current crisis far more recently in the selfishness of Thatcherite Britain in the 80s, the crisis in masculinity, the tragedy of Princess Di, and so on.
