*Men are [[libido|drawn to women]] much more than vice-versa, and the resulting sexual frustration might drive men to agree with everything a woman says only to get sex from her.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-gbacsUKpc</ref> | *Men are [[libido|drawn to women]] much more than vice-versa, and the resulting sexual frustration might drive men to agree with everything a woman says only to get sex from her.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-gbacsUKpc</ref> | ||
*Since women have more parental investment, they are more coy and choosy and hence they have less interest in any given sexual relationship. By the [[principle of least interest]], this means they get to [[Briffault's law|determine most conditions]] of the relationship because the men will more likely make compromises and fulfill women's desires as men want sex sooner and more often. [[Hypergamy]] is also a result of this. | *Since women have more parental investment, they are more coy and choosy and hence they have less interest in any given sexual relationship.

*Besides the lack of corrective feedback (the three points above), women might also have evolved to keep everything in the vague and to maintain overall peace & harmony over fighting out the truth. This tendency can be seen in women scoring higher in agreeableness, preferring egalitarian policies, but may also be related to making sure the offspring is fed. Being physically and mentally weaker, women more likely need to resort to harmony. Keeping things vague and outside of their responsibility enables them to easily quash unwanted sexual approaches despite being weak. It presumably also helps to prevent aggression against them by rejected males. | *Besides the lack of corrective feedback (the three points above), women might also have evolved to [[female sneakiness|keep everything in the vague]] and to maintain overall peace & harmony over fighting out the truth.

*Women are also known to have a fierce and manipulative way of intrasexual competition that is mainly concerned about a reputation of [[slut|faithfulness]] and [[beauty|beautiful]] appearance,<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022103117304195</ref> which may predispose a disregard for the truth. | *Women are also known to have a fierce and manipulative way of intrasexual competition that is mainly concerned about a reputation of [[slut|faithfulness]] and [[beauty|beautiful]] appearance,<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022103117304195</ref> which may predispose a disregard for the truth. | ||
*Solipsism appears to be a particularly childish trait, associated with the expectation that one is being cared of and bears no responsibility. Some of this is likely due to the preferential treatment they typically receive, some of it is likely innate. It could be (like [[Schopenhauer]] claimed) that women are childlike is because women are adapted to take care of young children, so they are more similar to them psychologically and this helps them relate to them. It could also be (like Dutton suggested), that men repeatedly choose agreeable, childish, obedient women and hence easier to control and hence less likely to cuckold them ([[paternity assurance]]). Indeed, one sees women to be heavily controlled and sequestered away in many cultures. Islam and Purdah are good examples, Chinese foot binding, and so on.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513810000279</ref> The ancient Greeks kept their women locked up 24/7 (apart from the more feminist Spartans). Even the parents, especially mothers, of men are often also interested that the women they marry are faithful, as the entire family wealth is invested into the offspring, thus contributed to such subordination.<ref>https://quillette.com/2018/11/25/on-the-nature-of-patriarchy/</ref><ref>http://www.femininebeauty.info/suppression.pdf</ref><ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S109051381730363X</ref> Such behavior can possibly also be adaptive by kin selection. Only speaking of patriarchal practices here is hence a highly provocative and one-sided view, though women themselves do not seem to be reluctant to being subordinated, if needed with force, as the prevalence of hybristophilia and female preference for psychopaths suggests.
