→A 'toxic masculine' society may allow 'sneaker males' to mate, thus decreasing inceldom

Funnily enough, in group-living primates, increased male competition (often cited as toxic masculinity) tends to decrease male [[reproductive skew]], or reduce the difference in access of females between males.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19018288/</ref> This also applies to male aggression in general. One study found that the high amount of aggression in chimpanzees may be what makes it have lower reproductive skew than bonobos. In that [[incel]] bonobos use aggression to sneakily coerce females they do not have broader permission to be with. The higher cohesion of bonobo society may be why bonobos have more sexual-access inequality among males, as this limits the ability of males to be sneaky and coerce females.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5568700/</ref> | Funnily enough, in group-living primates, increased male competition (often cited as toxic masculinity) tends to decrease male [[reproductive skew]], or reduce the difference in access of females between males.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19018288/</ref> This also applies to male aggression in general.
