Instead of "I'm struggling to take this in good faith" you might try asking clarifying questions; it's less rude that way. Talking about goals is a way of suggesting that sex isn't competitive. It is simply an act, with what meaning humans impart. > It’s impossible to disentangle reproduction from sexual behavior Gay people beg to differ. I'm not going to engage in generalities about how people affect each other; the subject at hand was a philosophy that encourages people to feel badly about themselves if they're not having sex with a "10", with an analogy to beauty product advertising. The claim was that subscribing to that philosophy was a choice. Happy to hear your thoughts regarding that. |

As do straight people. Most straight people, most of the time, take considerable pains to avoid reproduction.
Evolutionary psychology often proposes badly oversimplified models, and people draw invalid conclusions, even in non-human animals. But even more importantly, human conscious goals are categorically different from "every action is a selfish gene making a choice".
