what is the function of the stomach? is it to digest food? obviously. is that why the stomach exists? in a meaningful sense, yes. why not call it purpose?
"function" and "purpose" don't mean the same thing even in regular speech, much less in evolutionary theory
in any case it's invalid to point to a trait's function and say "that's why x trait exists", traits arise prior to their adaptive value being expressed, are normally multifunctional, and most traits of interest are governed by genetic regulatory networks that are not independent of those governing other traits. unless you've worked out stomach or ballsack genetics and done selective pressure experiments on the governing alleles you can't even say a trait was selected for a particular function with any certainty

i assume its because i like to post things that are outrageous because they make you mad.

yeah, 30 hours doing the normal WHO-prescribed method of giving birth, way better than fucking dying because you had a date the next night.
cycloneman you have about as much business telling people how to give birth as i have telling barry bonds how to play baseball
Goethestein posted:
im sure the natural birthing method is generally superior infection- and bleeding-wise when giving birth in the yurt, but in the portions of the world where we have a surplus of sutures and a deficiency of wild dogs to steal the afterbirth its not so bad
no, it goes for developed countries like Japan too.

cycloneman do you sincerely believe that any combination of words you could arrange from the library of babel could possibly cause me to take life advice from you seriously
it's cool that your wife is is more likely to literally die from complications due to her c-section and you're obsessed with winning points on the internet.
what a sociopath.

why are you even having a baby anyway. why ruin your vagina or live with horrible abdominal scars when you can outsource giving birth to some poor woman in the boonies. these days you can even check the baby beforehand for FAS and get one that's white enough to be worth loving.
thats racist. mods?
