We've actually had a guy in GBS unironically posting about it a few times, I think. IIRC it boils down to the theory that people have a quantifiable sexual market value and will choose partners based on that value. Most commonly they determine a woman's sexual market value almost exclusively by her looks while men get a whole bunch of additional factors, because of course they do.

To the surprise of no one, the conclusions most commonly drawn from that is that women shouldn't be promiscuous because that lowers their sexual market value. Additionally you often find stuff like "women are always just superficially looking to get with the highest-valued guy they can find", "it's totally appropriate for older men to go after women half their age", and of course good old "the sexual revolution was bad because now promiscuous high-value men are taking up women below their value, leaving none for the poor regular guys like the author".

So long story short:

So, men judge women solely by looks, women use a larger number of factors, and this means women are more superficial. Got it.

It's just an attempt to apply simplified market concepts to sexual relations - a predictable car crash. There are more interesting studies of sexual behaviour in economics in, for example, game theory.

The assumption is that a woman's value on the sexual market is highest when she's a virgin but then just goes down from there. It also ties into faithfulness; if a woman has never slept around then she probably won't in a marriage. If she gets pregnant you can be sure of the father. If she sleeps around then she's obviously sneaky and the baby's father might not be certain. I think a lot of it also goes down to historical views on women that did arise sort of out of biology. A woman who has already had children is actually less fertile. The more children a woman has had the fewer she can probably have. That of course mattered a lot when having as many children as possible was the way you kept your society going.

These days things are of course quite different. With fancy things like "modern medicine" and "low infant mortality rates" we just don't need to force women to get married young and have poo poo loads of babies. Granted I don't know if that would even be necessary in ancient societies but still.

Of course when you got into things like inheritances and hereditary titles you had to worry about parentage quite a bit. Who the father was and legitimacy mattered a hell of a lot so of course you'd want women to be faithful. That way you knew who the father was. Of course that also goes back to the times when a woman was viewed as more property than person. Tools that wear out become crappier tools so of course if you use a woman she'll eventually wear out and become a crappier woman, right?

Which, of course, assumes that a woman's only value is reproduction which is...well...a lovely thing to believe.

""I do not consent to this joinder" is a sovereign citizen saying that they aren't allowing the government to link their legal personage to their physical body.

QuarkJets

Sovcits believe that your physical person is separate from your "legal person", and the linking of an actual person to their legal person is what they call "joinder". They believe that laws only apply to your legal person, not your physical person So if the judge asks "are you John Smith" and you answer in the affirmative then the judge has established joinder between the actual John Smith and the legal entity John Smith, and now he can start accusing you of breaking the law. But if you never admit to being associated with the legal entity "John Smith" then you can just say that you're not the legal entity but are merely representing the legal entity John Smith in court today and therefore never create joinder. Now the judge can list off whatever laws he wants and they can send the legal entity John Smith to prison for killing and eating all of those people but the physical John Smith gets to moonwalk out of the court room without any problems because joinder was never established :smug:

This is also why you see these doofuses writing out their names in goofy ways like "JOHN: of the family SMITH", because they think that it helps to separate their physical person from the legal entity "John Smith".

In the real world of law, joinder means linking two cases together; sovereign citizens love misusing terms

And for extra idiocy some sovcits believe that the government opens a bank account for each "legal entity" with millions of dollars in it, and if you say the right magic words then you can access those funds somehow. I don't know the specific line of bullshit reasoning behind this one but it's pretty funny nonetheless

tbh most of this is post-hoc justification for why we kept the Roman obsession with virginity and faithfulness intact, tons of cultures gave way less of a poo poo about it, even Jewish culture, which had a ton of loving strictures on how to behave and kids and poo poo didn't have nearly the kind of stigma on it as would occur later.

This poo poo was top priority for Roman nobles though, and like most of Western society we are still trying to ape them as a way of proving we are just as cool (we aren't but they also weren't as cool as we think so it's a wash)

Also something about capital letters. Ever notice your name is in ALL CAPS on your ID? That's because it's not you, it's your government name. Humans don't spell their names in all caps so that must mean something. JOHN SMITH is a separate legal entity from the free human who calls him self John Smith. So you can safely ignore anything that spells you name that way because it's not you.
