Dr Khandis Blake is an Evolutionary Social Psychologist at the University of Melbourne whose research focuses on status seeking, the menstrual cycle &amp; sexual politics.It is no surprise that women try to enhance their beauty, put on makeup, wear high heels and sometimes take off some layers for photos. But what predicts beautification? Is it all a product of the patriarchy or is it something else? Just why are women making all this effort?Expect to learn whether women condemn promiscuity more when they have sons, what predicts a high prevalence of sexy selfies, whether society has an incel problem, the relationship between makeup and female assertiveness, how income inequality motivates some very odd behaviour and much more...Sponsors:Get 10% discount on all Gymshark’s products at https://bit.ly/sharkwisdom (use code: MW10)Get a Free Sample Pack of all LMNT Flavours with your first box at https://www.drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom (automatically applied at checkout)Extra Stuff:Follow Khandis on Twitter - https://twitter.com/KhandisBlake Get my free Reading List of 100 books to read before you die → https://chriswillx.com/books/To support me on Patreon (thank you): https://www.patreon.com/modernwisdom-Get in touch.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillxTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/chriswillxYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcastEmail: https://chriswillx.com/contact/  Learn more about your ad choices.

She is an expert in gendered conflict. Her research considers how behavior, attitudes, and culture associated with gender are influenced by the interplay between nature, nurture, and the state of the economy. Herself and her collaborators propose that gendered phenomena such as inimate partner violence, attitudes toward abortion, and male-male aggression arise partially out of market conditions that shift the bargaining power between men and women. Second, she investigates the causes and consequences of female competition and the conditions under which female sexualization elevates women's agency. Third, she develops methodological tools to advance the psychosocial study of female ovulation and ovarian hormones. Finally, she is interested in the social contexts eliciting aggression, especially male-to-female aggression and intimate partner violence. In this episode, we talk about several issues regarding female intrasexual competition in the modern world, gender inequality, and feminism from an evolutionary perspective. We first discuss how women compete, and focus on aggressive behavior. We then talk about intimate partner violence. We cover income inequality and effects on women’s intrasexual competition at several different levels, like the use of cosmetics and social media. We also explore sexual objectification, and hypersexualization in the West and the negative effects it might have on women. Finally, we talk about integrating Women’s Studies with Evolutionary Psychology to better understand and tackle current feminist issues. -- Follow Dr. Blake’s work: Faculty Page: http://bit.ly/2NFVpTp Website: http://bit.ly/2Vcog6m Google Scholar page: http://bit.ly/38pYBKH ResearchGate profile: http://bit.ly/33B8pQ1 Twitter handle: @KhandisBlake -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, BO WINEGARD, VEGA GIDEY, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, DAVID DIAS, ANJAN KATTA, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, MAX BEILBY, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, THOMAS TRUMBLE, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, AND CORY CLARK!

#317 Khandis Blake: Evolution, Income Inequality, Female Competition, And Feminism

Haris Aziz

Rob Brooks

Lee Rollins

Martina Stenzel

What we don’t understand often looks dangerous, and the barriers of our own anxieties are hard to get over. The incomprehensible power of new and complex technologies see us pull back in fear. What seem like the freakish sexual and social mores of others generate moral panic. Both of these reactions stop us from thinking – so maybe if we want to be able to deal with change, we need to dive into what seems dangerous, from algorithms and quantum computing to sexy selfies.Chaired by Rob Brooks, UNSW Professor of Evolution, Director of the Evolution &amp; Ecology Research Centre.This talk is part of the UNSW Grand Challenge program, and was recorded live on stage at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas 2018.
