Your reason for demonizing the female and her offspring is a male chauvinist one as opposed to being biologically based darkhorse2008uk.
I'm also quite surprised by your use of the word 'demonizing'. I have said nothing that demonizes females, nor have I been chauvinistically praising males. The whole point of evolutionary psychology is that it provides an attempt to view human behavior in an objective manner in order to explain what 'works' in terms of successful evolutionary strategies - i.e. what behavior is most likely to produce healthy offspring which can go onto produce yet more healthy offspring.
If the image evolutionary psychology depicts of females appears to you to be 'demonizing', then this only reflects your interpretation of these evolutionary successful behaviors. In other words, the emotive judgement lies with you.
We have been invited to provide thoughts as to why unrestricted female sexuality is feared in our culture - why it has been 'demonized' - and evolutionary psychology provides some reasons for why this might be.
