Return of the Caveman

September 8, 2025

Back in the Stone Age,

When a caveman desired a woman

He would go to her dwelling, armed with a club

And forcefully bring her back to his cave

This way

He could reproduce as efficiently as possible

 

Darwin says humanity has evolved since the Stone Age

But does it really count as evolution if all we did 

Was do the same things differently?

 

Men simply traded clubs

For pick-up lines

Still finding ways to take women back cold

Reporudcing as quickly as possible

 

Caveman mentality is engrained in the mind of men

It's DNA that is coded to tell them they are superior

Genes expressing themselves in toxic combinations

 

Sex has always been a basic function of men

Deprived of real love or intimacy

An act of necessity for the most desperate

And a way of life for those who perfect it
