This study is certain to prove controversial, suggesting that women are inherently programmed to be gold-diggers.

both men and women are genetically predisposed to ruthlessly exploit each other to achieve the best chances of survival for their genes.

Increasing partner income had a highly positive effect on women’s self-reported frequency of orgasm

Could easily be true. Or... increasing partner income increased the number of women’s self-reported FAKE orgasms, and they lied to the researcher because they had nothing to gain and everything to lose if the husband found out.

I have no trouble believing that both interpretations are true.

We're all inherently programmed to go after the highest quality partners. It's what people believe makes one higher-quality that is the problem.

Anyone familiar with evolutionary psychology already knows this. But we can't listen to science when it says "bad" stuff about women. Scientific studies are only relevant when they "confirm" that women are in some way superior to men. Otherwise, they're sexist.

I don't think that's controversial? Lots of studies have said similar things...
