One of the texts of recommend reading in Red Pill circles is The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating. I remember there was a section on gender ratios and how they effect mating strategies for men and women. It mentions that across all cultural contexts, populations with more men than women trend towards hypergamy while populations with more women than men trend towards polygamy.

It struck me as odd that New York has been so adversely affected by this recent virus which led me to remember this text. Doesn't it make sense that men's many partner strategy would lend itself to faster virus spread while women's only-the-best strategy would have the opposite effect?

Sorry if this has been discussed already. I have been a bit out of the loop.
