Oh, im aware.
There are many societal norms, while im aware of them i might often not be compelled to follow them.
In this case, there will be people construing it as an attack on women rather than societal attitudes.

Some of which mightve been beneficial from an evolutionary standpoint at a time where the upkeep of the population was something to be concerned about, not so much now that there are 7 billion of us.

There are many of those evolutionary leftovers which dont work as well with modern society and/or technology. For instance, guns. In the world wars, it was found that only about 40% shoot in the general direction of the enemy unit and only 2% shoot to kill. We see that in other animals - they may fight, but usualy they dont injur each others even if they had an opening to do that. Most species tend to try and scare a rival, threat or whatever it may be away rather than seriously hurting them. With guns, this becomes a whole different issue.
Novadays, soldiers are trained to have a conditioned response to shoot quicker than they could even have a thought about it, which comes with its own problems.
