“…We must not conflate our discussion of sexual conflict with concepts derived from the various fields of social science or gender studies, although we aim to integrate many of these fields into an evolutionary framework. Contrary to popular opinion within some of these disciplines (Evans, 2009), males do not usually benefit other males at the expense of females as a whole, or vice versa, as selection only builds adaptations that function to further the reproductive interest of individuals, or even selfish genetic elements within individuals (Burt and Trivers, 2006). Although we discuss male and female adaptations, these adaptations do not benefit each sex at a group level.…”

Coevolutionary arms races between males and females have equipped both sexes with mutually manipulative and defensive adaptations. These adaptations function to benefit individual reproductive interests at the cost of the reproductive interests of oppositesex mates, and arise from evolutionary dynamics such as parental investment (unequal reproductive costs between the sexes) and sexual selection (unequal access to opposite-sex mates). Individuals use these adaptations to hijack others' reproductive systems, psychological states, and behaviors-essentially using other individuals as extended phenotypes of themselves. Such extended phenotypic manipulation of sexual rivals and opposite-sex mates is enacted by humans with the aid of hormones, pheromones, neurotransmitters, emotions, language, mind-altering substances, social institutions, technologies, and ideologies. Furthermore, sexual conflict may be experienced at an individual level when maternal genes and paternal genes are in conflict within an organism. Sexual conflict may be physically and emotionally destructive, but may also be exciting and constructive for relationships. By extending the biological concept of sexual conflict into social and cultural domains, scholars may successfully bridge many of the interdisciplinary gaps that separate the sciences from the humanities.

“…Students of the '1968 generation' rebelled against hierarchies. These movements had a world-wide impact (Evans 2009). In Sweden, due to the influence of such social movements and the long discussions about 'sex-roles' a new masculinity ideal began to take hold in the early 1970s.…”

Teachers and school discipline 1960–1970: Constructions of femininities and masculinities in Teachers’ Journal

A historical perspective may provide important insights for understanding contemporary discussions and the expectations attached to women and men in today's teaching. The role of gendered meanings in relation to teachers' work is explored in this article by focusing on discussions on school discipline during the period 1960Á1970. Teachers' Journal, a Swedish weekly union publication, is examined. The findings show that in the 1960s it was still possible for a male teacher to position himself as a 'real man' by defending corporal punishment. Further, the stereotype of a bad mother was taken up in the discussions. Discipline problems were connected to pupils not properly cared for by their mothers. Bad mothers were depicted as either lazy, overprotective or working women. In contrast, femininity, motherhood and paid work were linked in the caring female teacher. In the final section, the relevance of the findings for the present is discussed.

“…The fact that she grew up during the Depression is the excuse that Jamie offers everyone as to why his mother has asked for help in raising him; she was exposed to communities looking after kids. The feminist movement and sexual revolution drastically shifted perspectives about women's roles (Evans, ). Paradoxically, it was during the more free‐spirited years of the 1960s that Dorothea would have decided to settle down and have a family.…”
