Abstract
Despite feminist critiques, evolutionary psychology (EP) has continued to grow and garner mainstream legitimacy. Adding to its advancement are those evolutionary psychologists (EPs) who push to disrupt such critiques by attempting to join EP to the work of feminism (Buss, Fisher, Fehr, Geher, Vandermassen). Supple and dynamic, feminism has a demonstrated history of integrating outlying theories and approaches, and expanding and remapping its margins through fierce and lively debate. But feminism is not theoretical tofu—there are limits to what it can absorb. This article will make the case for those limits by arguing against the compatibility of mainstream (or narrow) EP approaches with the goals of feminism, while also calling for a renewed feminist criticism of EP.
