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” ([[bodyguard hypothesis]]). Much of female nastiness, tantrums and childlike testing of boundaries may be driven by a wish to be met with violent containment as an adaption to test the male. | 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]]).

'''Reproductive advantage of female-directed violence''': Barbaro (2017) summarized that "evidence […] suggests that over evolutionary history men who employed [[rape|violence]] judiciously, on average, conferred replicative advantages compared with men who did not judiciously employ violence, in part, to control women’s sexuality."<ref>Barbaro N. 2017. ''Violence to Control Women’s Sexuality.'' In: Encyclopedia of Evolutionary Psychological Science, pp.1-6. [[https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-16999-6_898-1 Abstract]]</ref>}} Since violent, oppressive males have a reproductive advantage, it is advantageous for women to be subordinated by such men. | |||

'''[[Paternity assurance]]''': 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 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 possibly 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.
