...history, you didn't get some unless you had some. More precisely: it was wealthy, powerful men who scored the most sexual mates and, therefore, fathered the most offspring. Men with less wealth and low standing, meanwhile, died disproportionately childless. (As for women, they had little choice about sex regardless of status, since men treated them as property...
...evolutionary trait - having a Type A personality. The study finds that adolescents who say they always take charge, tell others what to do, anger quickly, get into fights easily, and walk, talk and eat fast end up having more kids than others when they grow up. That's true regardless of the kids' performance in school...
...between 2000 and 2004, when 46.2% of women opted for elective single-embryo transfer. (The increase in single-embryo transfers reflects, in part, changing attitudes in Europe toward using multiple embryos.) In both time periods, the study found, 90% of women delivered babies within their first four treatment cycles, regardless of how many embryos were implanted. That suggests there is no advantage to multiple-embryo implantation and no delay in creating a successful pregnancy from using one embryo at a time. Additionally, the incidence of multiple births was halved between the two periods...

That is not to say that this valorization is an inherently bad, or even flawed, component of contemporary feminist thought. Women should have the right to choose the manner in which they express their sexuality, regardless of the content of their choice (unless, of course, it results in foreseeable harm to others). Likewise, they should also have the right to judge which representations enlighten and which offend their sensibilities...
