Baumeister indicated this in his book that I read a long time ago, but it is more like 2:1,

> throughout the entire history of the human race, maybe 80% of women but only 40% of men reproduced.

As someone who favours individualism and was brought up in a culture where arranged marriages are the norm I found this most shocking and interesting at the same time.

I don't understand what you mean? Surely the MGTOW movement is not increasing the proportion of men who successfully reproduce, given that they seem to be about not reproducing?
