From the perspective of evolution having sex is a measurement of success, so I have mixed feelings about this message.
Taking care of people benefits the community, so it's also a measurement of success!
Interactions with people aren't prizes, and shouldn't be conceptualized as such.
"Humans have needs and desires" and "Humans should conceptualize the fulfillment of their needs and desires as separate from the people they interact (and resulting consequences) with to achieve them" are two different things.
Most basic idea, do unto others. People sometimes want to feel wanted, even in just a purely carnal sense; people generally do not want to feel treated like an object, an abstract, or a piece of meat in the process.
Okay, let me rephrase this again, in light of that wording of your position:
"Do not treat human beings simply as means to achieve a goal, even if the human being is necessary for that goal."
It's repressive to ask men to not view women only as sexual conquests because of biology?
That's not what I said and I am tired of answering
Oh no, did I misunderstand your assertion that it's human nature to objectify women?
Wouldn't the "prize" be the act of sex and not the woman herself? You are not granted ownership of a woman just by having sex with her.
From the perspective of evolution infanticide is beneficial
Perhaps not the best thing to base your opinions on.
