PATRIARCHY VS. FEMINISM: Evolutionary Mating "Game Theory"

 

BASIC PRIMISE

          1 The conflict between men and women in the human society today, can be best explained “Scientifically” by the Evolutionary Game Theory (EGT), a subset of Game Theory. The following is a Brief Version of this Evolutionary Mating Game Theory (EMGT).                                                                                                                                          Game Theory stands on the BASIC PREMISE; “Individuals in the population evolve by adopting different strategies in interacting with each other for survival and reproduction that can become prevalent in a population.”                                                               Game theory contains three main components; 1.PLAYER,  2.STRATEGY        And  the  3.PAYOFF. 

          The Mating Game Authorities are the Elite Ruling Class who carry-out the evolutionary rules of the GAME. The Individuals or the Group of “Players” have their own Strength and Weaknesses and use their STRATEGIES accordingly to maximize their PAYOFF’S and minimize its Cost.

THEGAME THEORY PRINCIPLE      

          2(i) The Main Principle of the Game Theory is: There is No Such Moral Principles such as;  Good and Bad, Right and Wrong or Justice and Injustice Except the Game “PAYOFF’S”.  “Deception” Plays a Pivotal Role in It. Whichever “STRATEGY” That Yields Good Scores (Payoff’s) in the “Competition” will Win the GAME. The Winning Strategy will be adopted by the others thus carried forward into future generation as the “Dominant” strategy, other strategies which end up  in bad Payoff’s (Cost, Consequences) will be ELIMINATED. In one sentence, this theory is all about; “SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST”.

          Nash Equilibrium; Evolutionary Stable Strategy (ESS); Grim Trigger Strategy, Dominant Strategy; Prisoners Dilemma; are some of the most important strategies employed in this ‘Evolutionary Mating Game Theory’.

VIOLENCE IS KING: PEACE AND HARMONY HIS QUEEN.

          2(ii). Violence and Peace Plays the Most Important Role in the Broader Societal Game Playing. This subject of “violence”  can be very Controversial As well as Emotional and Sensitive subject therefore it should be Told Concisely. 

          RULERS Of the STATES,  the Authorities use violence Against the Invader Strategy as their Dominant Strategy to Establish Peace and Harmony in the Society.  Grim Trigger Strategy, Nash Equilibrium and the Stable Strategies all follow from it. Evolutionary Mating Game between Men and Women Also Obey the Same Rules.

3 NASH EQUILIBRIUM

          In the Evolutionary Mating Game Competition between the sexes, nature assigned different attributes, privileged position to both, men and the women. In the evolutionary game process, it made them dependent on each other known as the “Nash Equilibrium” to ensure the future survival and propagation of their species. It gave a charming effeminate biological body for females suitable for seducing males to mate with her, including the biological design for child bearing, nurturing and taking care of the baby. On the other hand it gave a physically strong muscular testosterone filled body to men with better intelligence to PROTECT and PROVIDE especially for their women and children. On the surface this arrangement may look like; the men’s stronger physical strength and intelligence is a great advantage over the women’s weaker physical strength. However due to the Evolutionary Stable Strategy (ESS) working through the Nash Equilibrium strategies balanced both sexes fairly as Zero-Sum game. The ESS explained in the following.

4 EVOLUTIONARY STABLE STRATEGY (ESS) (Part-i)

          In the Evolutionary Mating Game, it does not take long time for women with their feminine charm to lure the males for mating with her. Similarly it does not take long time to men to impregnate the women, perhaps a few days, hour’s even minuets. So a man seems to have the advantage of impregnating as many women in a shortest period of time and get as many of his offspring’s (Payoff).  On the other hand it takes many months for a woman to carry on the pregnancy for a successful child birth. Therefore the mating cost seems higher to her and the payoff higher to him.   (Continued in Part-ii)       

          (Part-ii) However, due to their long pregnancy period, most females are not available to males for mating most of the times. It results in, only the Alpha males in the population will get the opportunity to mate with the available females. It leaves most Beta males without any mating opportunity. Most important of all; almost all the women are assured of getting the payoff’s (offspring’s) but NOT for most men. Therefore, males in the population should go declining.  However, the Nash Equilibrium of the evolutionary game theory brilliantly explains why and how an equal balance of both males and females are maintained due to games dynamic strategies mainly Intra-sexual vs. Inter-sexual, hawk and dove strategies. competition, cooperation, collaboration, Grim-Trigger-Strategy including the  DOMINANT Strategies. All these strategies play significant role keeping both the male and female population fit and balanced which is popularly known Evolutionary Stable Strategy (ESS). It can be perhaps compared to Law of Justice.

5 INTERPLAY BETWEEN  ESS AND GRIM TRIGGER STRATEGIES: 

          Even though, the long period of pregnancy and its responsibility made a woman to have only a limited number of offspring’s (payoff) nevertheless it ensures her a good Payoff since she is absolutely sure that the baby to whom she gives birth is hers.  Therefore, she can undoubtedly invest on her child’s best survival. However, it is not the same for the man who is protecting and providing for the woman and her children. She might have “deceptively” mated and got impregnated by the other males. So the child on whom he makes all his life’s investment might not be his own. This poses a major threat for the survival of his individual gene to get into the future gene pool.  Therefore, he must adopt the “Grim Trigger Strategy” by constantly remaining vigilant to dissuade her not to secretly mate with other males and jealously guard and protect her against those marauding males to make sure she only carries his own gene, if not, she will lose her payoff in the form of his protection and material support.  Therefore providing and protecting his females and her offspring’s, guarding his territory and its resources would ensure better payoffs and became the Dominant male strategy for the survival of the species in the Evolutionary Stable Strategy of the mating game.

6 MARRIAGE: NASH EQUILIBRIUM OF PATRIARCHY

(PS. In the proceeding sections, I have taken the liberty in describing this theoretical subject matter mostly in a colloquial language instead of the exact Game Theory “terminologies”, mainly to make it short and easy. It contains only the main points relevant to the subject matter. Hope readers will understand it.)      

          In the hundreds and thousands of years of their evolutionary history,   human species carried forward their Evolutionary Stable Strategy (ESS) popularly known as MARRIAGE. It was a combination of “Dominant” Strategy with the “Grim Trigger strategy” that immediately brought a kind of “Nash Equilibrium” making it a kind of “Zero-Sum Game” for both. Fidelity and loyalty of woman toward her man became its most important aspect. Women’s disloyalty insubordination met with disciplinary actions. Infidelity or adultery severely punished with physical violence to the extent of killing. Today it is called as MALE DOMINATED “PATRIARCHAL” society. Religion, Culture, and the LEAGAL (Legislature) System evolved around it, as the very important part of Dominant Game Strategy throughout the human history till the modern times.

7 MALE DOMINANCE: WOMEN’S SUBORDINATION

          In marriage or otherwise the husband or man had the Privileged Dominant position against his wife due to his better physical strength and intelligence to control over her. This dominant position enabled the man to discipline and punish his wife whenever she becomes disobedient to him.  Woman’s insubordination, disloyalty, deception to her man considered as the Misuse of the privileges (protection and material support) given to her by the man. Therefore, the husband is justified in severely punishing his wife as the most effective way to make her obedient and follow the rules.   Even a mere threat of severe physical punishment and withdrawal of his protection and support made the woman cringe in fear and become fully subordinate to her man and comply with all his wishes.  

8 JUSTICE IS BLIND

          There was no special legal provision for women for the redressed of their grievances of domestic dispute violence against men like today. All of it treated under the common law. It becomes very difficult in the olden days for women to prove their domestic dispute, violence  rape issues against the men before the courts. The courts decided under its principles of “impartiality” based on the merits of evidences and the witness presented before it. Men mostly won due to “Lack of Evidences” against them. The court of justice is incapable of seeing the secret facts hidden behind the surface therefore people call; “JUSTICE IS BLIND”. Women lacked any such resources available for the modern women to seek justice under law. Therefore, remaining subservient to man’s wishes became the best strategy for women to make it a kind of  “Zero Sum” game.

9 FEMINIST ARGUMENT ON THE HISTORICAL MALE DOMINATION

          Looking back at the history of the evolutionary human society, the feminist today claim that it was and still is a Male Dominated Patriarchal Society. They say that the men in the history so far grossly misused their privileges and victimized women in the society. There is absolutely no social justice for the women. However, the historical men will defend themselves by saying; there never been any such gross injustice to women. Women in their times were treated well with respect, honour and adoration (see the religious female deities) and most importantly given privileges such as the MAN’S PROTECTION WITH MATERIAL SUPPORT TO THEM. However if the women misused their privileges, men were given right to prevent it by using whatever physical power as his “domination” strategy and other means (strategies) available at their disposal to punish and discipline the women.  Ironically, today we see the table has turned quite the opposite. Men claim to have become victims of the Male Gender Biased Laws. We may continue the extension of this debate later. 

10 INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION PARADIGM SHIFT, WOMEN’S POWER

          The coming of Industrial Revolution of the 18th century and all its proceeding Technological Revolution ushered in a PARADIGM SHIFT IN THE DYNAMICS OF THE Established Nash Equilibrium of the Evolutionary Mating Stable Strategy (ESS).  It brought in tremendous benefits to the human society, especially for women. The new science and technological inventions, tools made the human work physically less demanding therefore it became easy for women to enter into the existing labor force of manufacturing, services and mass production.  The new appliances, gadgets, household devices freed women from many of their household chores and made it possible for them to join in almost all job sectors en-masse. Women gained far more economic independence. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL; THE INVENTIONS OF BIRTH CONTROL PILLS AND OTHER SUCH DEVISES HELPED WOMEN TO FREE FROM THEIR BIOLOGICAL RISK AND COMPULSION OF PREGNANCY SO REMOVED MOST OF THEIR SEXUAL CONSTRAINTS AND INHIBITIONS. IT DISRUPTED THE ENTIRE “NASH EQUILIBRIUM” OF “EVOLUTIONARY STABLE STRATEGY”  IN THE FUTURE MATING GAME DYNAMICS FOREVER. 

11 INVASION OF WOMEN’S  RIGHT MOVEMENT                                                        DOWNFALL OF OLD PATRIARCHY

          The ongoing Capitalist Reforms with its focus on women’s education and later the Universal Suffrage enabled women and their promoters to express their “Gynocentric” views openly challenging the established Nash Equilibrium of the old Patriarchal system, demanding equal rights for women. It was the emergence of a Invading Gynocentric Strategy against the old Patriarchal ESS to gain political power, popularly known as the “Women’s Equal Right or “Feminist” movement today.  This New Invading strategy threatened to overthrow the old patriarchal Nash Equilibrium disrupting the established Evolutionary Stable Strategy.

12 COLLABORATION COOPERATION COEXISTENCE NEO-PATRIARCHAL  GYNOCENTRIC   STRATEGY

          At first, the Old Patriarchal capitalist ruling elite felt threatened by the emerging Gynocentric women’s entry, invading into their male Patriarchal domain. However they soon realized they can greatly gain by the Collaboration game strategy. The Elite ruling class desperately needed cooperation from the feminist Gynocentric lobby to get the women’s vote bank to broaden their political base to strengthen their ruling power control.  They agreed to COEXIST by Compromise and Cooperation by giving in many of the feminist anti-male demands. New “gender” laws sanctioned in the male dominated parliament and adopted by the male dominated justice system and enforced by the male dominated law enforcement system giving enormous power to women at the expense of men’s right. The Neo-Patriarchal Gynocentric but Male Dominated Elite ruling class in collaborations with the Women’s Right movement adopted the new feminist GYNOCENTRIC policy doctrine for establishing a new Evolutionary Stable Strategy in the Evolutionary Mating Game.

13 GYNOCENTRIC DOCTRINE

          SOME OF THE BASIC UNDERTAKINGS OF THE FEMINIST GYNOCENTRIC DOCTRINE TODAY, AS FOLLOWS:-“MEN AND WOMEN ARE EQUAL”. “WOMEN ARE AS CAPABLE AS MEN IN EVERY RESPECT”. “ALL MEN IN GENERAL ARE RAPIST AND ALL WOMEN IN GENERAL ARE THE VICTIMS OF THE MALE GENDER VIOLENCE.” WOMAN HAS THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE ANY KIND OF SEX IF SHE “CONSENT”. THERE ARE NO MORE SEXUAL TABOOS WHEN THE WOMEN CONSENTS IT AND SHE CAN WITHDRAW HER CONSENT ANY TIME SHE FINDS IT CONVENIENT. WOMEN’S WORDS SHOULD BE BELIEVED WITHOUT QUESTION, NO EVIDENCE NEEDED. ANY MAN CAN BECOME A WOMEN AND VISA-VIS ANYTIME IF THEY WISH UNDER ITS GENDER FLUIDITY DOGMA. CHILDREN SHOULD BE TAUGHT THIS NEW GYNOCENTRIC DOCTRINE IN THEIR CLASSROOMS SO THEY BECOME FEMINIST IN THE FUTURE TO PROSECUTE WHOEVER WORKS AGAINST THE GYNOCENTRIC DOCTRINE. 

14 ORWELLIAN DYSTOPIA

          Even though the society appeared to have become very gynocentric, it basically remained male dominated, ruled by the Neo-Patriarchal morals at its core, made possible by the collaborative, cooperative game Strategy adopted by the Neo-Patriarchy in their Competition with the gynocentric feminist which earned rich Payoff’s for the ruling elites class as a whole and ensured that the rich always remain in power with their affluence in abundance. However they did not want to share most of their class privileges with the entire population to keep the majority population under their control. To distract the population from seeing the reality of the social inequality, they adopted Orwellian slogan that said; “ALL ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS”. They said women are more trustworthy than men therefore women should be believed and given special privileges over the men and encouraged to use it whenever possible. It created a kind of Orwellian dystopian totalitarian society. “Political Correctness”; “Doublespeak”; Propaganda; Surveillance; Censorship; Punishment and Torture are some of its main characteristics.

15 THE GYNOCENTRIC GENDER LAWS OF SOCIAL JUSTICE

          Let me deviate slightly from the principles of Game Theory to see the reality through the lance of “Social Justice”. It is generally agreed that women are physically weaker than men. (Despite the feminist claim that women are equally capable of performing all the tasks that men do.)  Men have better physical strength and intelligence as their male evolutionary privilege. Therefore, when a woman competes with a man it is generally easy for the man to overpower the woman by his physical strength, resorting to physical domestic violence, rape even killing.  Therefore, under the justice point of view, women essentially need lawful protection from the male aggression especially in their marriage partnership and other live in intimate relation. Only strong legislations in favour of women to counter balance the male gender privilege can prevent this historical male injustice (aggression) in their conflict. It will establish a new Nash Equilibrium (equity) into their gender Competition and it all sounds logical under the Social Justice theory.

16 ENTRY OF MEN’S RIGHT MOVEMENT (MRM) COUNTER STRATEGIES

          However the problem in this “Social Justice” logic comes to the forefront  when it is pointed out that women are using this new ‘Gender Law’ privileges deviously or deceptively  (misusing, false accusations, court cases) and making enormous gains at the expense of heavy damage and cost to the men’s life. Men called it “male gender biased laws” and started their protest. Several Men’s Right groups as counter strategies emerged; names like MRA, Fathers Right, MGTOW, INCEL, CHAD and many more.

17 INDEPENDENT OBSERVER “GRAPES ARE SOUR”

          Let us bring a counter argument to the Men's Right Movement (MRM) from an Independent Game Observer, who may comment as the following:  “Men have grossly misused their male privilege such as physical strength and economic power since millennium which still continues today. Men also use their privileges of physical strength, economic power deceptively whenever they can to win the court cases. Men commit all sorts of “Crime Against Women”, including  Domestic Violence,  rape and murder and deny doing it when caught, pretend innocence to get away with it.  Therefore, there is nothing wrong in women using their law privileges deceptively to their own advantage to win and get away with it.  Men are now calling it “grapes are sour”. The question for men in this contest is; can they claim that they honestly don’t misuse the laws deceptively as the women do for their own advantage to win? If they say no, then they should learn it from the modern women; “getting successful while remaining safe is the secret of wining”. Good and Bad, Right and Wrong or the “JUSTICE” is mainly decided by the GAME’S “Payoff”.

18 LOOKING AT IT THROUGH THE LENCE OF GAME THEORY :

          LET ME RESTATE THE MAIN PRINCIPLE OF THE THEORY ONCE AGAIN: THERE IS NO SUCH MORAL PRINCIPLES LIKE; “GOOD AND BAD”, “RIGHT AND WRONG” OR “JUSTICE AND INJUSTICE”; EXCEPT THE GAME “PAYOFF’S”. “DECEPTION”  PLAYS A PIVOTAL ROLE  IN IT. WHICHEVER “STRATEGY” THAT GAINS MAXIMUM “PAYOFF” WITH MINIMUM COST (LOSE) IN THE “COMPETITION” WILL WIN. THE WINNING OR “INVADING” STRATEGY WILL BE ADOPTED BY THE OTHERS THUS CARRIED FORWARD INTO FUTURE GENERATION AS THE “DOMINANT” STRATEGY.

GOOD AND BAD, RIGHT AND WRONG OR THE “JUSTICE” MAINLY DECIDED BY THE GAME’S “PAYOFF”. IN ONE SENTENCE THE THEORY IS ALL ABOUT; “SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST”.

19 PRISONERS DILEMMA: WHITE, BLUE AND THE RED PILL.

          (a) In this newly emerging mating game scenario, all players lived in a kind of prison arrangement under the Elite Ruling Class Prison Authorities, who had their unique Prisoners Identification System to manage and control the Prison inmates. There were three main categories of identification.  1. White Pill  2. Blue Pill 3. Red Pill.   The ruling prison administration received the White pill, which provided them with all social immunities, affluence, luxuries in abundance, to enjoy into perpetuity.  The rest of the prisoners given two choices either to accept the blue pill of Gynocentric doctrine  or chose the Red Pill that opposed the Gynocentric doctrine; perhaps like seen in the “Matrix” movie. 

          The majority prisoners chose the blue pill by agreeing to follows the Gynocentric doctrine. It gave them good social security with its many material benefits and let them live in relative freedom. However, in exchange they had to sacrifice their wisdom of seeing their world reality in all its colours except in Blue and Red. 

          (b) However, a minority of the prisoners who declined to follow the Gynocentric doctrine chose the Red Pill option. They called themselves as “Men’s Right” or “Manosphere” as they don’t want to sacrifice their WISDOM of seeing the realities of their present Gynocentric world in which the authorities lived in affluence and abundance and exercised tight control over the entire population. In exchange for this Red Pill “wisdom” they had to agree to sacrifice most of the Blue Pill world’s social security and benefits and agree to remain inside a stronger prison confinement.           

          The women in the Gynocentric Blue Pill world have been considered more trustworthy by the prison authorities and were appointed as Red Pill prison guards to control the Red Pill male prisoners. Most of these women developed a taste to torment the men whenever they get the opportunity.  The Red pill male prisoners, who were physically stronger than their women prison guards, strictly forbidden to disobey and overpower the female guards to escape from the prison. Any male prisoners who broke this prison rules been caught and severely punished by the prison authority assisted by their modern prisoner’s identification facilities. The escapees who have been caught were put in the most dreadful maximum security solitary confinement and tortured.        

          (c) However the Red Pill prisoners who still carried their male privilege of physical strength and wisdom were able to easily overpower the women prison guards and escape. Therefore, a third sub-game option was given to the prisoners, deliberately designed to deter any such jail break attempt. Many times the women prison guard enticed the male prisoners into the trap of getting over-powered thereby to escape. However the prison Authorities identification system could easily detect and caught the escaped prisoners almost all times and sent them back to face the most horrible punishment, making them the “Scapegoat’s”. The  punishment so cruel, to make it as an example to all the rest of the prisoners to teach them a lesson and convince them that it is impossible to escape from the security system undetected.  Therefore, it is not worth to try to escape since the “cost” (lose) will be multiple times bigger than any of its payoff’s. It made everyone to believe that there is no safe and successful “invading” strategy to escape from this gynocentric prison except to demand the authorities to bring in some important prison reforms, in the form of GENDER NEUTRAL LAWS.

20 PRISONERS ESCAPE; THE “INVADER” GAME STRATEGY

          In their quest to find a safe and successful strategy for the Red Pill prisoners escape, one of them realized that the main reason that prevented the prisoners from finding a safe and successful prison escape, remains in their own Neo-patriarchal sub-conscious indoctrination saying; “Protect women and their ASSETS including children”, which they unknowingly carried with them.  Getting rid of these moral values will enable the men to see that they all are living inside an Evolutionary Game Program. It is possible to invade its prisoner’s identification surveillance system by inserting a new code in it. This new Invader strategy will turn their Red pill identity into the White pill so will give them all the White Pill immunities to enjoy. This Novel Way of the Invader strategy can Break-up the entire gynocentric ESS power dynamics. The women prison guards who used to seeing the Red pill prisoners will become completely blind to see the escaping red pill prisoner in their new white pill identification due to the blue pill program instilled into the guards. The entire responsibility of the prisoners escape will squarely fall on the Woman guard. She had to pay its heavy cost and immediately lose her job with heavy penalty.

21 FINALE: NOVEL WAY STORY EXAMPLE: A “INVADER” GAME STRATEGY

          In the following paper, I will try to show the Red Pill “Invader” strategy example of the Game Theory written in a fantasy fictional story form, titled as; “Novel Way” told by a Protogonist-1(P1) to Protogonist-2(P2). It is only for the entertainment purpose, the “prison escape” may not be as safe and successful as it seems in the story. Every situation is different; the DEVIL IS IN ITS DETAILS”.  Readers are advised not to try it in their reality.
