Document Summary
When we fight for resources, we fight within each other. Ehormbs would get hostile if jumeres try to take control over resources. The group on top will want to stay on the top and give the other group the minimal resources so they are satisfied and don"t complain. Sex created a strong bond between two groups. Social distance scale: use scale to see how much people will accept groups in their society. This scale is applicable from bottom up but doesn"t work the same way fro gender. Example: at the top you can say you"ll marry someone of the opposite sex, but you can still disagree with the bottom ones. Maintain that power differences but get people to do what you want (loving, kind). The reason there are differences (follow the stereotypes. Example: dominant man), is because the women pick the dominant man. If you kill the child, she will have another one.
