>>Now let's consider what happens when such an optimal society starts to break down. What happens is that for some reason society loses its ability to enforce sexual morality. This means that promiscuity and adultery become a viable evolutionary strategy for men. Women realize this, and these immoral men become exciting for women. And so the evolutionary decay of the society begins. >> a shotgun approach to which man is the best is what prostitution is. no choice is who the man is, what he can provide, or what traits he brings to the table. The only consideration is if he can pay for the privilage, then pay for child support if he is successful. That second part is why shotgun weddings were the norm in the 1900's. There was no child support back then. Worst of all, this does not empower women one bit, it only tells them they are while they are being auctioned off by the hour to the highest bidder.
