> Lower ranking males tend to act in ways that subvert higher ranking males

Just want to say: It has nothing to do with sex - women do this also. Please refrain from characterising whats going on with Python right now as being a consequence of some sort of masculinity out of control, because I fear that is a falsehood and does you - and anyone who tries to agree with you - a major disservice.



That was nicely said. The statement is factually accurate but is the corollary of how to lie with statistics (how to lie through omission by characterizing group X as possessing property Y when it is also possessed by X complement).

There is no wrongdoing mathematically, but it does show that selective vision is a force for damage if wielded improperly or with agenda.
