Another reason may be that women compete much more in terms of looks and gossiping about one another's looks,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_gossip_significantly_more_about_physical_appearance_then_men</ref> | Another reason may be that women compete much more in terms of looks and gossiping about one another's looks,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_gossip_significantly_more_about_physical_appearance_then_men</ref> | ||
