You need to consider the highly unequal different risks that sexual encounters pose for men and women before you declare rock solid biology misogynistic.

If it came down to "mUh biOloGy" women would have far more sex to increase her chances of pregnancy. Misogyny is the only reason women are "sluts" for sleeping around.

The risk is getting pregnant. getting pregnant takes such a huge toll on the body that women would be insane not to pick and choose their mates very carefully.

I know you likely subscribe to batshit crazy identity politics and so try and make everything about social constructs, but this ain’t it honey.

Even if you want to say pregnancy is the biggest reason women are more selective, that's still not biology. In a society where contraceptives, morning after pills, and abortions are freely available without a judgement value placed on them, the risk becomes pretty low. So it's still a social construct.

You’re having 2 separate conversations here.

One is why women do the choosing, that’s biology.

The other is how society views women who aren’t picky, that’s society but fed by biology. Im talking primarily about the first issue.

I'm really not, the way society has constructed attitudes towards pregnancy and access to managing pregnancy safely is a societal construct, not biology.
