An alternative or additional explanation is that men do not want to waste their resources on another man's offspring, so they have a strong preference for exclusive sexual access to their woman as a measure to avoid being [[cuckoldry|cuckolded]]. Not just men have this preference, but men's mothers and their entire families that may invest their family wealth in the offspring as well, and were often usually heavily involved in partner choices.<ref>https://quillette.com/2018/11/25/on-the-nature-of-patriarchy/</ref><ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S109051381730363X</ref> Such behavior can plausibly also be adaptive by kin selection.

This could also explain men's attraction to underage, post-pubertal, fertile girls/women ([[hebephilia]]) which is quite [[Scientific Blackpill#tocAge|prevalent]] sexual desire among men. | ||
Another explanation could be (like [[Schopenhauer]] claimed) that women are childlike and subordinative because women are adapted to take care of young children, so they are more similar to them psychologically and this helps them relate to them. | Another explanation could be (like [[Schopenhauer]] claimed) that women are childlike and subordinative because women are adapted to take care of young children, so they are more similar to them psychologically and this helps them relate to them. | ||
