'''Anti-cuckoldry''': An additional explanation is that men, in their natural role as provider,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref> 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> who were usually heavily involved in partner choices.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886918305348</ref> Such behavior by relatives can plausibly also be adaptive by [[kin selection]]. 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, fertile girls/women ([[hebephilia]]) which is a quite [[Scientific Blackpill#tocAge|prevalent]] sexual desire among men.

{{quote|There should be strong selection on males to control females' reproduction through direct coercive control of females […].

Cuckolding another man is also a strong [[dominance hierarchy|dominance signal]] as it means the cuckold is being heavily outcompeted and thus potentially emasculated, or at least lowered in dominance status. Hence, men are motivated to defend their mate against defenders to save face ([[mate guarding]]). | |||

'''Female intrasexual competition''': Women being chosen based on their faithfulness is thought to fuel female intrasexual competition by gossip and accusations of sluttiness, also explaining how, 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> | '''Female intrasexual competition''': Women being chosen based on their faithfulness is thought to fuel female intrasexual competition by gossip and accusations of sluttiness, also explaining how, 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> | ||

'''Solipsism as reason for containment''': Furthermore, being [[neoteny|neotenous]] and prone to cry like children, nobody likes to correct women, so they develop severe [[solipsism]], insanity and unbearable nastiness, hence people prefer to keep their behaviors tightly constrained. Islamic scholars and imams, often talk about female insanity and throughout human history intellectuals all over the world have reported of insufferable female behavior, e.g. [[Otto Weininger]] summarized femininity as "vapid horniness" (see [[timeless quotes on women]]). | '''Solipsism as reason for containment''': Furthermore, being [[neoteny|neotenous]] and prone to cry like children, nobody likes to correct women, so they develop severe [[solipsism]], insanity and unbearable nastiness, hence people prefer to keep their behaviors tightly constrained.

'''Feedback loops''': Selection for submissive women has plausibly a number of self-reinforcing effects (feedback loops), e.g. any kind of sexual dimorphism gets amplified by [[sexual selection]] as being more feminine or more masculine enhances the attraction.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Even_chickens_prefer_sexually_dimorphic_human_faces.2C_to_the_same_extent_as_humans</ref> Further, any sex difference tends to result in a clear and simple social norms which then re-enforces sex differences via socialization. | '''Feedback loops''': Selection for submissive women has plausibly a number of self-reinforcing effects (feedback loops), e.g. any kind of sexual dimorphism gets amplified by [[sexual selection]] as being more feminine or more masculine enhances the attraction.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Even_chickens_prefer_sexually_dimorphic_human_faces.2C_to_the_same_extent_as_humans</ref> Further, any sex difference tends to result in a clear and simple social norms which then re-enforces sex differences via socialization. E.g. many honor-shame cultures also place strong pressures on men to restrain the promiscuity of their wife and daughters. | ||
