Recession cues increase women's desire for men owning luxury products and men's desire to buy them (Bradshaw et al. 2019) (doi.org)

Women are aroused by the flashy trinkets of embodied human suffering. The is why the world can never be equal, or there be an end to human exploitation—because female sexual desire is libidinally invested in the structures of exploitation.

How is luxury goods human suffering?

[–]Keisuke_Takahiro2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

It is known that the economic market drives the exploitation of humans for profit because the less you need to pay an employee or for an employees safety, the more profitable the trinket becomes to sell.

Technically wouldn't designer goods be less explotative of humans since they probably pay their craftsman more (and have better conditions) than people and children in sweatshops making cheap affordable clothing?

More evidence that economic scarcity and inequality incite intrasexual competition in both sexes.

It makes women compete by looks and a reputation of chastity and premarital virginity for the few men with reliable high value, who in turn compete more with signals of economic power such as luxury goods.

[–]Altmark223 points4 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Key phrase is 'reputation for chastity', which is relative, in relation to the sexual mores of the time. https://incels.wiki/w/File:Changes_in_premarital_sex_partners.PNG

There doesn't appear to be many 'premarital virgins' in The West these days, despite increasing economic inequality.

Is there any reliable evidence of an actual increase in female virginity recently, in contradiction to the graph I linked above, or is it just indicative of general disengagement from the dating market due to higher standards? (i.e. the NORC GSS question asking if they've had sex in the previous year.)

[–]SophisticatedBean[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

In GSS there is a significant increase in zero partners since age 18 for women in their early twenties (nummen == 0, sex == 2, age < 25).

Years N Zero partners %
1990-2001 693 75 11
2012-2018 307 54 18

X2 = 8.7, p = .003, so significant at p < .01.

(Of course besides increased sexual competition due to economic inequality, other factors may be less strictly enforced monogamy, more feminine females due to xenoestrogens preferring men with higher T, lower T males due to xenoestrogens, high inhib males due to gynocentrism, diminishing economic growth, housing crisis etc.)

Couldn't this be rephrased as, the more broke a woman is at the moment, the more she values a man for his ability to provide money?

In other words, sort of common sense.

the more AFRAID she is of being broke

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
