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> | This behavioral sex difference could partly be explained by stereotypes and social norms, however it may also be of genetic origin.
