The Irish Elk went extinct because of women

[chadmanlet04]

Female Irish elk may have selected male elk with increasingly larger antlers. Some recovered antlers measure 9 ft (2.7 m) across and weigh over 90 pounds (40 kg). The extreme nutritious cost to grow such huge antlers, coupled with the burden of such a heavy load, were possibly more than the males could handle, particularly as their food source density decreased during environmental changes. Natural selection would have favored males with smaller bodies and antlers for their lower nutritional needs and superior mobility, however the sexual selection pressures were strong and the ornament has become so fixed in a positive feedback loop, that it may have ultimately caused extinction.

Women

yeah I always compare this with women's height obsession. Normal tallness is evolutionarily beneficial and so it makes sense for them to like it, but now they want giants which is just dysgenic, and it's gonna get worse. Same way antler size gives an advantage but past a point it's harmful.

Same with Saber Tooth Tigers. It's a problem. I intend to address it.
