I am slowly making my way through the article but I wanted to comment on the sentence in the first part of the article. Unfortunately, I can't copy and paste so I am going to summarize the quote. It was the one that stated women no longer believe in monogamy so men don't find them interesting to start a relationship with because they might end up stuck caring for someone else's child.
We don't really know if our foremothers were any less faithful to their husbands then the current generation of young women. It would make better sense to trace your maternal line because you can't be one hundred percent certain that any male in your family tree is actually your real ancestor but you can be fairly certain of the female lineage.
Eons ago when I was younger, it was not uncommon to hear that young men needed to sow their wild oats before settling down. Because of birth control, young women are now able to play the field too. When you remove societal stigma against women being shamed about having sex, there is no reason for a woman to be any less sexually active then a man.
As far as taking care of another man's child, I admit, that men get a raw deal in that department. Hopefully, they will invent a safe way for men to avoid impregnating someone other then condoms but I guess that is a different subject altogether
