Anthropologist Eibl-Eibesfeldt suggested the tendency for women to submit to dominant men may a remnant of ancient adaptations in which pair formation only succeeds when the male is able to dominate his partner which can be observed in many reptiles, birds, and mammals.<ref>Eibl-Eibesfeldt I. 1989.

In many species, including humans, the greater [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]] on part of females causes males to engage in contest competitions over reproductive opportunities.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men.27s_social_status_accounts_for_62.25_of_the_variance_of_copulation_opportunities</ref><ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Among_male_university_students.2C_only_cues_of_physical_dominance_over_other_men_predicted_their_mating_success</ref> | In many species, including humans, the greater [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]] on part of females causes males to engage in contest competitions over reproductive opportunities.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men.27s_social_status_accounts_for_62.25_of_the_variance_of_copulation_opportunities</ref><ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Among_male_university_students.2C_only_cues_of_physical_dominance_over_other_men_predicted_their_mating_success</ref> | ||
A result is that the act of penetration itself | A result is that males evolve to be taller and stronger in an evolutionary arms race. | ||
Critelli & Bivona (2008) further suggest that “the display of male dominance may function as a way for females to assess genetic quality and the ability to protect”. | |||
The act of penetration also itself becomes a dominance signal as it is the consequence of winning prior contests, hence it becomes a desirable trait in males that females, otherwise coy due to their higher parental investment, "surrender" to. | |||
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,<ref>https://quillette.com/2018/11/25/on-the-nature-of-patriarchy/</ref><ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S109051381730363X</ref> and were often usually heavily involved in partner choices.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886918305348</ref> Such behavior can plausibly also be adaptive by kin selection. This is also thought to fuel female intrasexual competition by gossip and accusations of sluttiness also explaining what historically females have massively contributed to restraining one another's sexuality.<ref>http://www.femininebeauty.info/suppression.pdf</ref><ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022103117304195</ref> This should imply women have been selected to be obedient, agreeable, childlike and weak, i.e. easily controllable like a child. 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.
