Women's Fashion Choices and Intersexual Dynamics
49:52 - 59:42 (09:49)
Women's clothing choices are informed by their perception of other women's standards, and also by the intersexual dynamics of the mating market, where they are voluntarily accepting fewer resources for access to reproduction, which sets a base price that ensures no woman drops the value of sex below a certain point on the market. The question remains whether women's fashion choices are purely for the benefit of men or do they have deeper intersexual implications.
