Cuckoldry is the idea that hetero men need to protect themselves from women who may trick them to raise kids that aren't biologically theirs

Cuckoldry is a historical idea that stems from Christianity & colonialsim. It transformed institution of marriage to protect men's assets.

Study argues that since violence against women is tough to maintain (!), having same-gender attracted partner increases evolutionary fitness

Authors argue this is because women who have sex with women don't get pregnant, so they won't trick men into looking after extra babies

Study also argues men have access to twice the number of sexual partners with little effort, increasing his changes of having children

This is where we see how the researchers have absorbed patriarchal constructions of lesbian sex: 1) women have sex with women to please men
