The impression of increased sluttiness may also | The impression of increased sluttiness may also be driven by the rise of self-sexualization (e.g. in online media, but also in the public) which appears to be driven by female intra-sexual competition in [[hypergamy]] and economic uncertainty/inequality, i.e. women self-sexualizing themselves to get attention from the more and more rare economically advantaged men.<ref>Blake KR, Bastian B, Denson TF, Grosjean P and Brooks RC. 2018.
