Trivers–Willard hypothesis - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Trivers-Willard hypothesis (TWH), proposed by Robert Trivers and Dan Willard in 1973, suggests that female mammals can bias the sex ratio of their offspring depending on maternal condition, thereby enhancing their evolutionary fitness (reproductive success) (Wikipedia). In essence, parents in good condition are more likely to produce and invest in male offspring, while parents in poor condition are more likely to produce and invest in female offspring.

The hypothesis is based on the principle that male reproductive success is more variable than female reproductive success. High-condition males can mate with multiple females and produce many offspring, whereas low-condition males may fail to reproduce at all. In contrast, females generally have more stable reproductive success regardless of condition. Therefore, parents in good condition can maximize fitness by producing sons who may achieve high reproductive success, while parents in poor condition are better off producing daughters who are more likely to reproduce successfully (Open Textbook; Springer Nature).

Basically, if you have daughters, you're guaranteed to have grandchildren unless she's a feminist landwhale. Meanwhile, for every Chad with a harem, there are far more incel men who never reproduce.

The hypothesis is focused on non-human mammals, but similar behavior has been observed in humans:

In Tight Money Times, Parents Favor Daughters Over Sons

A Rutgers researcher finds some financial choices are driven by a primal urge to be a grandparent.

Yeah. It's also been observed that there are a lot of natural occurring failed pregnancies of male fetuses during war time leading to more girls being born during war times Interesting enough, after war times there is a large increase in male births, called the returning soldier effect.

A foid can't replace your sire

 

[Todd Thundercock]

I would prefer daughters.

Having daughters is cucked I’d rather not procreate. But I do agree with you.

The ironic thing is that in cultures that practice infanticide and gender-bias of newborns. Sons are generally preferred over daughters. This is generally due to cultural reasons like sons carrying the family name (patrilineality). Patrilocality. Or dowries paid by the bride's family. There was also the reality that men are stronger than women; which is really important in agrarian societies.

Now that most countries are industrialized, and that machines can do all the heavy-lifting. There isn't much value of sons beyond cultural inertia. Meanwhile in some liberal countries. Merely being a woman opens up the doors to educational & occupational assistance. Especially in STEM fields. Despite the fact that in most countries, female college students outnumber male students. Truly calling into question what does male privilege mean anymore?

1) You can’t control for the gender of offspring.

2) You can’t control for only “top tier” men being born if ugly femlets are still having kids

1. You actually can. It's called Gender Selection (IVF). Or just giving fewer resources to male offspring.

2. If the "best men" are also wealthy. That's just standard polygyny. Very common, just not very stable.
