Damaging genes reduce reproductive success in males much more than in females, mediated by cognitive/behavioral traits rendering these males less likely to find a mate. Darwin's theory of sexual selection accounts for a quarter of all purifying selection acting on human genes. (Gardner et al., 2020)

In other words women are allowed to pass on their shitty genes while men are not

This study is basically saying; Both men and women can carry genes that are detrimental to our species. This genes express themselves like autism, bad social interaction skills, low intelligence, etc. When a man shows signs of these damaging genes his mating success will be 50% less compared to a man that does not show signs. For a woman this mechanism can't be used because regardless of her damaging genes, she will have a higher mating success rate then a man with the same detrimental genes. We all know this. Because we all know that there are way to many men that stick their dicks in a crazy. If we compare our behavior with our relatives the bonobo and chimpanzee, the logical conclusion would be that homo sapien females keep homo sapien males continuously in a state of sexual arousal to get the males in a proxy of servitude to extract resources from them. If we continue to build on this, we see a pattern in the homo erectus etc. Where branches disappeared, like the neanderthaler and denisovan. The logical conclusion is that de female mating strategy literally f@cked their own species into oblivion. The homo sapien species is still alive because the output of males is higher then females can consume. The applied intelligence of males has made is possible to overcome natural dilemmas that otherwise would have meant our end.
