Briffault’s Law

Briffault’s Law is a sociological and anthropological concept formulated in 1927 by the 

Scottish surgeon and anthropologist Robert Briffault in his book The Mothers.

 

The Core Definition Briffault’s Law states that the female, not the male, determines all conditions of the animal family, and an association with a male occurs only if the female derives a benefit from it. In its original zoological context, Briffault argued that in many animal species, females select mates and maintain or break off associations based on immediate practical advantages (such as protection, resources, or territory).

 

The Three Corollaries In popular discussions—particularly online and in modern manosphere or relationship forums—the concept is often summarized with three corollaries: Past benefits do not guarantee future association:

 

What a partner did yesterday or last year does not obligate the female to stay today.

 

Current benefits for future promises are void: Any agreement where a male provides a benefit now in exchange for a promise of a future relationship becomes void once the present benefit is given.

 

Promises of future benefits have limited weight: A promise of future reward only influences the relationship if the wait is short and trust is high. Modern Interpretation and Misapplication Popular/Online Use: Many modern commentators and internet groups use Briffault’s Law to claim that human relationships are purely transactional, asserting that women stay with men only for utility, status, or financial provision, and will leave when those benefits fade.

 

Psychological and Anthropological Critique: Anthropologists and psychologists note that applying a 1927 theory of animal mating to modern human relationships is a reductionist oversimplification.

 

Human bonding relies heavily on emotional safety, mutual investment, shared vulnerability, and attachment rather than a one-way exchange of survival resources. Opinions on the topic remain mixed across public forums like Reddit, where critics argue it ignores human emotional complexity and mutual mate choice.

The 'Jesus of history' -- Memory or Myth?

 

Historians and theologians have postulated a 'Jesus of history' in a hundred guises, many mutually exclusive and all assembled from the inadequate testimony of the gospel stories. But there is a simpler truth: the gospels record not a fragmentary memory of a man but a much redacted fable. Read more: jesusneverexisted.com/ehrman.html jesusneverexisted.com/newapologists.html
