      Help me understand your point… wouldn’t posting any individual tweet by a person be considered ‘cherrypicking’ by your definition?

      Like yeah, of course they’re posting the tweet with the funny/stupid thing in it. This is a meme community.

      Are you really going to defend asmongold on lemmy? Sure you want to do that?

        I think, they mean asmongold’s “argument” is cherrypicked. You can find so many examples of primarily women being lauded or even paid for how beautiful they are, but let’s look at ancient statues instead.

    The argument about birds is ignorant because of basic behaviour ecology. Arguing from Zahavis handicap hypothesis males display strength by giving themselves a handicap. Being highly visible, lumbered with pointless feathers.

    Females are camouflaged since they often are the ones on the nest.

      Yeah, evolutionarily, the more conspicuous male birds drew away predators that would have otherwise attacked the nest. Thus making it more likely their offspring survived.
