Female sex favoritism: Difference between revisions

As a result of their greater [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]], women have evolved to be [[sex drive|choosy and passive maters]]. In addition to that, there are more fertile men than there are women in their prime fertility years, plus men seek to monopolize women early on for the purposes of [[paternity assurance]]. For these reasons, women, especially young women are naturally the highest goal men compete for and hence there is a natural tendency for women to be treated special and to be put on a pedestal. The extent to which this is actually done is however, largely determined by culture. For example, many religions regard women as [[female subordination|inferior and hide them]] from the public, possibly largely also for the purposes of [[paternity assurance]].
