Uh, no. This isn’t a matter of suppressing pregnancies that aren’t wanted—it’s a matter of not boosting the likelihood of pregnancy by means of various reinforcing mechanisms that in all add a minor, though non-negligible, probability of conception.
So you admit that the decrease in the probability of conception is minor. This means that it’s not enough to invalidate hg00′s argument that what you think of as ‘creepy’ strategies, even rape, are adaptive under some circumstances.

hg00 didn’t make the argument that it was adaptive, e just assumes it is. I respond to that too, if you’ll look at my dialogue with em a bit further.
