Technically, this is applicable to both males and females, but males pursue this strategy more often, possibly because they have been selected to dominate and protect with physical aggression ([[sexual dimorphism]]), and to do ''anything'' of significance really as men are more expected to succeed since [[hypergamy|women choose successful and dominant men]]. | Technically, this is applicable to both males and females, but males pursue this strategy more often, possibly because they have been selected to dominate and protect with physical aggression ([[sexual dimorphism]]), and to do ''anything'' of significance really as men are more expected to succeed since [[hypergamy|women choose successful and dominant men]]. | ||

This drives the Cinderella effect.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Living_with_a_step-parent_is_the_greatest_single_risk_factor_for_child_abuse</ref> However, conflict can also lower reproductive fitness as one risks death or losing important social ties by a bad reputation, hence it happens rarely, especially in animals with sophisticated reputation systems such as in humans. Male aggression may also be fueled by [[hybristophilia]] and [[Scientific Blackpill#On_average.2C_women_are_attracted_to_the_Dark_Triad.E2.80.94narcissism.2C_manipulativeness.2C_.26_psychopathy|women's preference for psychopathy]], which may have co-evolved as a reproductive strategy. | ||
Another strategy is competing with other species, eliminating animals and or plants and use their space and resources for you and your kin. This, however can have a detrimental effect on fitness, as humans have an ecological dependence on other species (food chain). Animals aren't usually your direct competitors (with [[dogpill|exceptions]]), but they do take up space on our planetary surface. | Another strategy is competing with other species, eliminating animals and or plants and use their space and resources for you and your kin.
