“The ultimate reproductive fact—that males stand to benefit from copulating with any fertile female (if the risk is low enough), whereas females do not stand to benefit from copulating with many males (no matter how low the risk)—is most directly expressed in the proximate psychological fact that the typical male is at least slightly sexually attracted to most females, whereas the typical female is not sexually attracted to most males.”
