'''Bateman's Principle''' is a principle in evolutionary biology which states that there is greater variance (or inequality) in reproductive success among males than females. There is debate as to whether this principle holds true across the animal kingdom as a whole, however incels believe the principle holds for at least humans. | '''Bateman's Principle''' is a principle in evolutionary biology which states that there is greater variance (or inequality) in reproductive success among males than females.

Female [[hypergamy]] exaggerates Bateman's Principle in humans and makes it worse. This is partially why men complain more than women do about access to sexual intimacy. [[hypergamy#GINI coefficients|Studies have shown]], and academics such as scholar [[Angela Nagle]] and sexologist [[Kristin Spitznogle]] have argued that Bateman's Priniciple indeed applies to modern humans. Nagle, Spitznogle, and others such as [[Rodger Devlin]] also say that this sexual stratification is being intensified as a result of sexual liberation. | Female [[hypergamy]] exaggerates Bateman's Principle in humans and makes it worse.

A study that analyzed changes in the distribution of sex partners from 2002 to 2011-2013 showed that compared to 2002, top 20% of men (in terms of [[LMS]]) now had a 25% increase in sexual partners, and the top 5% of men had an outstanding 38% increase in the number of sexual partners. The study commented that “no significant changes were identified among women in the top 20% and top 5%, overall, and among subgroups”<ref>https://journals.lww.com/stdjournal/Fulltext/2017/02000/Changes_in_the_Distribution_of_Sex_Partners_in_the.5.aspx</ref>. | |||
