This dependence likely evolved because women have more [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]], so they specialized in childcare and extracting resources from men. | This dependence likely evolved because women have more [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]], so they specialized in childcare and extracting resources from men. | ||
Since men are spared from childcare, they can increase their [[reproductive success]] by impregnating many women ([[pump and dump]]). Women, in return, need to protect themselves from promiscuous men of poor quality and thus evolved to be coy, i.e. [[libido|reluctant to having sex]]. | Since men are spared from childcare, they can increase their [[reproductive success]] by impregnating many women ([[pump and dump]]).

As a result, women desire initiating sex with a random person of the opposite gender much less than men.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men_like_61.9.25_of_female_profiles.2C_women_like_only_4.5.25_of_male_profiles</ref> | As a result, women desire initiating sex with a random person of the opposite gender much less than men.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men_like_61.9.25_of_female_profiles.2C_women_like_only_4.5.25_of_male_profiles</ref> | ||
Women have plentiful dating options by essentially ''just existing'' and they heavily exploit this privilege by being choosy. | Women have plentiful dating options by essentially ''just existing'' and they heavily exploit this privilege by being choosy. | ||
In unregulated sexual markets, this gives women almost ''all the power in sexual matters'' due to the so called "principle of least interest": When an activity depends on mutual agreement, the person with the ''least interest'' decides the terms of that activity.<ref>Waller & Hill, 1951</ref> This is because the person with the most interest has fewer alternative options, hence more likely makes compromises and ''dates down'' in case of mate choice.<ref>https://assets.csom.umn.edu/assets/71503.pdf</ref> | |||
This is one reason why men more likely date down, which means women date up. | This is one reason why men more likely date down, which means women date up. | ||
Due to their dependence on men, women naturally want resource security in relationships much more than men.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S109051381730315X</ref> | |||
As women are the sexual selectors, when they sexually reject men based on "what men have to offer" they are sexually commodifying '''themselves''' with a certain exchange value. Sex, in the absence of [[Sexual Marxism|Sexual Marxism/Fascism]] then becomes a "'''female''' commodified resource for social exchange", in which a "broad range of valued goods" are competed for by men in order to ''purchase'' sex from women with this broad array of (often non-monetary) resources.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016748701630277X</ref> Females compete with each other to "sell high", in the form of strategically withholding sex they would otherwise like to have,<ref>Baumeister & Twenge, 2002</ref> slut-shaming, and gossip. Whereas male sexual competition takes the form of amassing the "broad range of valued goods": fame, wealth etc. When men compete in terms of resources and women raise the resource cost of sex, this creates a situation where the men with the most resources get the most sexual access. | As women are the sexual selectors, when they sexually reject men based on "what men have to offer" they are sexually commodifying '''themselves''' with a certain exchange value.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016748701630277X</ref> Sex, in the absence of [[Sexual Marxism|Sexual Marxism/Fascism]] then becomes a "'''female''' commodified resource for social exchange", in which a "broad range of valued goods" are competed for by men in order to ''purchase'' sex from women with this broad array of (often non-monetary) resources.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016748701630277X</ref> Females compete with each other to "sell high", in the form of strategically withholding sex they would otherwise like to have,<ref>Baumeister & Twenge, 2002</ref> slut-shaming, and gossip.

In other words, women pair "up" in resource status among men.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016748701630277X</ref> Women, being the sellers of the sexual access they collectively commodify as much as possible, can choose '''whenever they want to have sex''' by merely accepting a buyer or lowering their price. Whereas men must engage in the work necessary to amass the resources required to buy what women collectively commodify if women refuse to submit to [[Sexual Marxism]] or give sex away for free and without discrimination. | In other words, women pair "up" in resource status among men.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016748701630277X</ref> Women, being the sellers of the sexual access they collectively commodify as much as possible, can choose '''whenever they want to have sex''' by merely accepting a buyer or lowering their price.
