Evolutionary/genetic history tells us that roughly 1/2 of men reproduced, as opposed to 90% of women.

So many men not having a partner is not something our species isn't used to.

I think it's more 40% to 80% but yeah that's pretty accurate.

"To my knowledge, Chinese labourers in Africa are marrying local women." @fvriovs

This sounds very off given how racially conscious Chinese people tend to be. Have you got any source?

And that's true.

But those men will still attempt to get one, and if society doesn't provide one, violence can.

I'll try and find something sq crcl.

This was first result?

It _is_ an issue, don't get me wrong. But IMO it's overblown.

You'd blow my mind fri...

@leavethisbotnet In my view it's probably better to just avoid the issue with mandated monogamy. There are merits to polygamy but there is always a risk.

But yes you're right about the historical male-female reproduction rate.

We are as a species used to most males not reproducing. It's just that the males in question don't like it.

I was talking about the Chinese problem of more man than women

not monogamy/polygamy

though it does apply too

Oh fair enough.

I think it touches on a similar issue.

If there's not enough Chinese women to go round the only recourse is foreign women.

Men by and large *want* to reproduce.

If anything, given socially enforced monogamy, the Chinese problem is smaller, than the problem that polygamy causes

Likely correct.

Thanks @fvriovs

I'll keep this in mind, still having difficulty believing it solidly. (Chinese who marry outsiders usually get ejected so this seems still unbelievable to me)

How prolific is femicide in China these days?

I know what you mean sq.

China is very unashamedly racist.

So when I first read about this I was a little shocked also.

But this isn't their only activity.

Yeah, you are making me glimpse outside of my own bubble with those (many) articles

Seems like some men prefer racemixing over incelhood

There's reports of Chinese gangs grooming Pakistani women to sell them into sex slavery in China.
