Some feminist anti-incels hold social Darwinist, [[eugenics|eugenicist]] views and believe in the [[good genes hypothesis]] that women always choose the best genes and hence women's sexual liberation is a great benefit for humanity as men with poor genes won't reproduce as much. If increasing female sexual freedom results in sharp increases of male inceldom, they see this as a necessary and welcome development. One such feminist activist even worked for the FBI.<ref>http://archive.is/ZiejW</ref> In truth, there is little evidence that female mate choice is beneficial for humanity.

On the contrary, there is some evidence that | On the contrary, there is some evidence that certain types of female social equality is dysgenic, at least in terms of intelligence, as intelligence is negatively correlated with fertility among modern samples of Western women. This relationship is wholly mediated by women's greater educational attainment, that is women who delay reproduction to focus on higher education have substantially lower fertility than those (generally less intelligent women) who do not.<ref>https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/twin-research-and-human-genetics/article/how-intelligence-affects-fertility-30-years-on-retherford-and-sewell-revisited-with-polygenic-scores-and-numbers-of-grandchildren/AB8EF68EE05C8DFD0A1C424B4FF7BC1F</ref> | ||
