Women have been dependent on men's resources throughout history, for example, in historical societies women were much more involved in cooking than in resource extraction<ref>https://doi.org/10.2307/3773347</ref>. Hence, the principles of economics can be applied to sexual market: Women can sell exclusive access to sex because men have higher sex drive and desire certainty about their parenthood, and men can sell the resources because women depend on them.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016748701630277X</ref><ref>https://d-nb.info/997448148/34</ref> This means, welfare and affirmative action for women, as well as decreasing economic growth and increasing economic inequality, tend to reduce the [[sexual market value]] of lots of men. | Women have been dependent on men's resources throughout history, for example, in historical societies women were much more involved in cooking than in resource extraction<ref>https://doi.org/10.2307/3773347</ref>.
