Another aspect pointing to a femininzation of women is that sex differences in gendered occupational preferences are maximal in the most progressive Western countries (what is known as the gender paradox),<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Countries_with_pronounced_feminist_policies_have_fewer_women_in_leadership_positions</ref> which might partly be attributable to a feminiziation in more industrialized nations.

However, this trend is commonly explained by women's innate preferences (namely for the private, social and domestic domains reconcilable with childrearing rather than domestic domains<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref>) becoming more exposed with liberation.<ref>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ijop.12265</ref> | ||
Conversely, there is more substantial evidence of women's behavior and preferences having become ''masculinized'' in recent history, as e.g. evidenced by a longitudinal survey of Italian adolescents between 2000 and 2017,<ref name="minello2020"></ref> in which women stated to engage more in [[promiscuity|casual sex]] and less likely regard premarital sex as problematic. In particular, women's rate of infidelity has increased, closing the gap in the youngest U.S. cohorts.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Half_of_women_in_relationships_report_maintaining_a_.27back-up.27_partner_in_their_social_circle</ref> Today, women also more often choose to organize their lives around a career, which used to be an almost exclusively [[women in STEM|male domain]], with there evidence being that women with a career tend to be less satisfied and happy (see [[hypergamy]]).
