Historically, most males never got to reproduce. https://psmag.com/environment/17-to-1-reproductive-success As soon as you remove our self-imposed social rules, we revert to our natural instincts, where a few males copulate, but rarely bond, with the majority of females. This leads to unhappy bonds where some of the less desirable males take care of females and offspring that is not theirs, while the rest of the males just get angry at the world and start fighting. A great way to build an army (e.g. Daesh) is to promise angry young involuntarily celibate males a bunch of virgins. You can also use their dissatisfaction to make a bunch of money, with the promise that they are becoming more desirable as they consoom more product (see Andrew Tate). > We predict that imposing monogamous marriage reduces male reproductive competition and suppresses intra-sexual competition, which shrinks the size of the pool of low-status, risk-oriented, unmarried men. These effects result in (i) lower rates of crime, personal abuse, intra-household conflict and fertility, and (ii) greater parental investment (especially male), economic productivity (gross domestic product (GDP) per capita) and female equality. https://theconversation.com/society-wide-benefits-of-monogam... |
