Mark Elgar of the Univeristy of Australia makes a comment that we might resonate with modern feminists.
“A constant stream of suitors wanting to participate in a polygamous free-for-all could possibly lead to greater harassment, leading to the female expending more energy and placing herself at greater risk of harm than if she doted on just one male,” Elgar said in a statement.
Mr. Elgar is actually referring to a species of beetle with rather asymetrical mating habits.
