You wanna just-so evo-psych story that explains Hanania? Easy peasy. Rape! The bros gang up together, kill the worker-bee men, rape the women for the jollies, and then retire to their caves with the year's food supply. This would create a certain equilibrium between rapey guy genes and good provider genes. Which is kind of Veblen's view of the world, with a bit of Social Darwinism thrown in. Or Homer's for that matter. (Nietzsche is a bit more complicated.) Or the Seven Samurai.
It is a funny coinkydinks how often Tyler Cowan ends up adjacent to these racists. Fortunately he is a member in good standing of the Economics Profession(tm) and therefore cannot have any lust in his heart.
Evopsych-wise, surely the move is to remember that being adaptive means having children who successfully reproduce; in everybody-is-a-subsistence-farmer world, that presumably means that job #1 for a man is not so much pleasing women as being the son who inherits the farm.

Touché. That is clever...
