> evolutionarily optimal strategy
Gender roles (and sexism) are primarily cultural. If you look through history there has been matriarchal and patriarchal societies. Monogamous and polygamous and so on in many combinations.
Humans sexuality is very unique compared to other animals and, respectfully, we should try not to play armchair Darwin.
There are very good lectures from prof. Sapolsky on youtube on the topic. Humans are complex and very weird.
- CalRobert 4y agoRoles are very cultural, but who has the eggs isn't. One person can create 10-20 offspring over their life, another can create thousands (hypothetically).

- scns 4y ago> Gender roles (and sexism) are primarily cultural. I think, slut shaming might have a biological component: you can't be shure the kid is yours.
