Mon ami, are you aware of the bonobo chimpanzees?
apologies, i am not
From wiki
“An analysis of female bonding among wild bonobos by Takeshi Furuichi stresses female sexuality and shows how female bonobos spend much more time in estrus than female chimpanzees.”
“Males engage in lengthy friendships with females and, in turn, female bonobos prefer to associate with and mate with males who are respectful and easygoing around them. Because female bonobos can use alliances to rebuff coercive and domineering males and select males at their own leisure, they show preference for males who are not aggressive towards them.”
wooow
thanks for sharing; this is interesting~!
there are many parallels here with an FLR dynamic where women's preferences and needs take precedence. specifically with the females choosing mates who are respectful and easygoing. for humans, this would be partners who are emotionally intelligent and able to communicate.
it also highlights the value of matriarchal dynamics—how female empowerment and cooperation can lead to a more harmonious society.
fascinating...
