Is there a reason evolutionary psychology seems to portray men in the most negative light possible?
Whenever I see podcast clips, read articles/books, or listen to interviews with evolutionary psychologists and evolutionary psychology, whether it's regarding mating strategies, infidelity, or how women and men approach relationships and the other sex, no matter what it is, it seems that men are portrayed in the most negative light imaginable.
Some examples (these are apparently common findings in ev psych): When it comes to infidelity, men are more concerned with sexual infidelity, women are more concerned with the emotional infidelity. When men cheat, it's simply because of sexual desire/horniness/variety; when women cheat, it's for actual meaningful reasons (although cheating is wrong either way). Men are more shallow and more focused on a woman's looks and have a stronger physical desire and stronger sociosexuality and have a more carnal, inferior sexuality, whereas women are more relational/narrative/contextual, and they are far more selective and just aren't nearly as sexual or carnal as men and their sexualities inferior superior in that way and virtuous. Men are more focused on physical pleasure and the physical bodies when it comes to sex. Women are more interested in personality and traits and kindness and intelligence and other non-physical traits, which portrays women to be superior in my view.
Then, of course, there's the theory of sexual conflict within reproduction and how it basically portrays men as just wanting to have sex as much as possible and chasing after physical pleasure and not wanting commitment, whereas women are driven by commitment, raising children, stability, and are not carnally inclined, which, of course, portrays women as morally superior. I can go on, but you get the idea. No matter what it is, whatever the topic is within mating or human sexual behavior or whatever evolutionary psychology teaches us about those things, it always degrades men and places women in a comparatively better light, or it makes men out to be shallow. And I see this everywhere within evolutionary psychology.
Is there another way to look at all this? Are the aforementioned findings within ev psych overwhelmingly true or is there a large overlap between the genders (like do many women care more about sexual infidelity, do men care about emotional infidelity, etc)?
