This lower male tendency to behave in a hostile manner towards sluts is likely because men are prone to signal investment in potential female romantic partners,<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/147470490800600302</ref>, so while they may feign disdain towards sluts (in line with social norms and biological impulses), in actuality, they may not punish them because they still desire them as mates and seek to impress them. | This lower male tendency to behave in a hostile manner towards sluts is likely because men are prone to signal investment in potential female romantic partners,<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/147470490800600302</ref>, so while they may feign disdain towards sluts (in line with social norms and biological impulses), in actuality, they may not punish them because they still desire them as mates and seek to impress them. | ||

== Everyone's aversion towards sluts == | |||
Not just men and women have an aversion toward female sluttiness, but men's parents and their families that may invest their family wealth in the offspring are concerned about such behavior 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> As [[arranged marriage]] was the dominant form of mating in human history, parents were usually heavily involved in partner choices.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886918305348</ref> | |||
== Selection for neatness in females == | |||
Women are neater and more conscientious with regards to bodily hygiene than men. For example women spend more time on toilet,<ref>Baillie, M. A., Fraser, S., & Brown, M. J. (2009). Do Women Spend More Time in the Restroom than Men? Psychological Reports, 105(3), 789–790. doi:10.2466/pr0.105.3.789-790 </ref> are more likely to wash their hands even after petting an animal, handling food, coughing or sneezing.<ref>https://www.cleaninginstitute.org/sites/default/files/assets/1/AssetManager/2010%20Hand%20Washing%20Findings.pdf</ref> | |||
Women more often agree that washing their hands after using the toilet is "very important" (91% vs 84%) and more likely wash their hands after use of public transport,<ref>https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/news-polls/Hygiene-and-Cleanliness</ref> | |||
and they cross-culturally wash their hands more frequently than men.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5074573/</ref> | |||
Furthermore, swearing is considered "unladylike" and is considered much more obscene in women, and women swear less than men.<ref>https://egrove.olemiss.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1050&context=umurjournal</ref><ref name="guvendir2015">https://www.researchgate.net/publication/320711460_Why_are_males_inclined_to_use_strong_swear_words_more_than_females_An_evolutionary_explanation_based_on_male_intergroup_aggressiveness</ref> | |||
This behavioral sex difference could partly be explained by stereotypes and social norms, however it may also be of genetic origin. Neatness is in line with women's greater social compliance, agreeableness and lower social status. Some of such behavioral adaptations plausibly arose from selection against sluttiness and related indecent and unpredictable behavior as a result of the reasons mentioned above (paternity assurance, higher STD proneness in women etc.). Other factors selecting for neatness in women may include that women were much more involved in food processing and cooking throughout human history,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref> and hence they were much more likely to introduce parasites due to handling the food much more than men. Being much more involved in parenting, women may also serve as role models for children regarding body hygiene. Further, women have to deal with their menstrual discharges, in fact menstruating women are not allowed to enter the kitchen during menstruation in India and Indonesia and a variety of other restrictions have been observed across different cultures.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_and_menstruation</ref> Women's lower swearing propensity may also rather stem from men using strong language in intrasexual and intergroup competition.<ref name="guvendir2015"></ref> | |||
