In many species, including humans, the greater [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]] on part of females causes females to be coy and 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 females to be coy and 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 males evolve to be taller and stronger in an evolutionary arms race. | 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”. | 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” ([[bodyguard hypothesis]]). | ||
The act of penetration also itself becomes a dominance signal as it is the consequence of winning prior contests, hence it becomes a desirable behavior in males that females, otherwise coy due to their higher parental investment, "surrender" to. | The act of penetration also itself becomes a dominance signal as it is the consequence of winning prior contests, hence it becomes a desirable behavior in males that females, otherwise coy due to their higher parental investment, "surrender" to. | ||
