It will always be a rare commodity because sex is costlier for women (because of pregnancy). These discussions seem to always miss that basic game-theoretic dynamic.
- themacguffinman 5y agoI don't think it's quite so immutable, the cost inequality is changed dramatically by a few modern factors: - affordable birth control - affordable abortion - mandatory paternal child support
- dqpb 5y agoThe instincts tuned to this dynamic exist at a totally different layer of abstraction.
- amanaplanacanal 5y agoPretty sure we understand how to prevent pregnancy now. You must be talking about historical societies.
