So basically 3rd world roasties are still well off due to simp money and such. Ok no surprise lmao.

Actually, the better off women are, the more depressed they are. Just look at feministsin academia, talk about major depression.

Men living in the most deprived areas were 51% more likely to have depression than those living in areas that were not deprived (OR=1.51, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.24; p=0.043), but the association between deprivation and MDD was not statistically significant in women (OR=1.24, 95% CI 0.93 to 1.65; p=0.143).

There are some more significant results in the paper, but the result they highlighted in the abstract with p = 0.043 is unfortunately not very significant. p = 0.05 means repeating the experiment only twenty times is expected to give you one more extreme result than theirs by random chance caused by the small sample size. Needs more data.

I don't think there is a truly blackpilled book. Most books in this area are littered with feminist virtue signaling which reaches back to the early 20th century. I guess intellectuals always tended to be sneaky feminist males as they polarized with the more ruthless/fast LH guys.

Sex at Dawn has some interesting ideas, but it's also Cultural Marxist and feminist as it gets. It's kinda resentful in the way that it claims farming has resulted in long-term relationships and women as "possessions", as if this would be the worst thing imaginable. It also laments that women lost their gathering jobs as if this was the worst thing imaginable, and ignores the fact that farming has resulted in immense prosperity also in typical Cultural Marxist resentful fashion.

The book also claims only farmers care about paternal certainty which is disputed in the very paper I posted here. The book also denies a sex difference in sex drive even though this is very well documented by Baumeister et al. They falsely rely on a study of genital blood flow in response to sexual visual stimuli, which can largely be explained by a reflex in women to prepare for rape by lubrication (this is even elicited when women view animal sex). This has nothing to do with wanting to have sex badly, but is just protection against infection!

Otherwise the book lists a bunch of results that men's reproductive organs may have evolved for sperm competition. Such adaptations might imply in human past there was lots of promiscuous mating, requiring men's penises to be shaped to scoop out the sperm of other men and their sperm to be able to kill off other sperm. It also proposes that women's much louder moaning might act as mating call to attract more men to try and impregnate them. IMO it seems fairly plausible that sex orgies were relatively common. People had lots of sex and sex used to be much less strict and sterile than in today's world. Nonetheless, women have always been more squeamish about whom to have sex with. The mating call might act exactly to attract the most powerful male around.

AFAIK the best book on human sexuality is Eibl-Eibesfeldt's Human Etiology, especially his chapter on "Pair Formation, Courtship, Sexual Love" (fully available on Google Books). But it is of course also milder than stuff you will find here because people do not want to risk their careers.

Otherwise I'd recommend a bunch of papers on sexual economics, sex differences in sex drive and social roles:

Edit: Is There Anything Good About Men by R. Baumeister seems good: https://www.amazon.com/There-Anything-Good-about-Men/dp/019537410X

But of course that's nothing compared to being crushed and oppressed by the evil patriarchy /s

Well the paper reported a higher rate of depression in their sample of women than men - it just wasn't linked to whether they were in a socio-econocially deprived area

[–]NPCcel_20011 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

The rate is probably a lot higher now.

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