Her reasoning rests on the view that mate selection creates a lasting conflict between male and female interests.<\/p>\n<p>This approach does not present itself as a defence of harmony between the sexes. Instead, it describes a struggle over access to reproduction, resources, and partner choice. The proposed ways of managing men excluded from sexual selection are particularly radical: they include, among other things, the normalisation of pornography, the use of sex robots, and, in some cases, access to state-funded prostitution.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #dd3333;color:#dd3333\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #dd3333;color:#dd3333\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/meike-stoverock-sexual-selection-future-men\/#%E2%80%9CSexual_conflict%E2%80%9D_at_the_heart_of_the_argument\" >\u201cSexual conflict\u201d at the heart of the argument<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/meike-stoverock-sexual-selection-future-men\/#From_agriculture_to_monogamy_a_reinterpretation_of_history\" >From agriculture to monogamy: a reinterpretation of history<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/meike-stoverock-sexual-selection-future-men\/#Contraception_female_autonomy_and_the_return_of_choice\" >Contraception, female autonomy, and the return of choice<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/meike-stoverock-sexual-selection-future-men\/#The_radical_scenario_envisioned_for_excluded_men\" >The radical scenario envisioned for excluded men<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/meike-stoverock-sexual-selection-future-men\/#Why_does_this_view_provoke_so_much_rejection\" >Why does this view provoke so much rejection?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/meike-stoverock-sexual-selection-future-men\/#A_hypothesis_about_the_future_not_a_fate\" >A hypothesis about the future, not a fate<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/meike-stoverock-sexual-selection-future-men\/#FAQ\" >FAQ<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/meike-stoverock-sexual-selection-future-men\/#Who_is_Meike_Stoverock\" >Who is Meike Stoverock?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/meike-stoverock-sexual-selection-future-men\/#What_does_the_2080_theory_mean_in_this_context\" >What does the 20\/80 theory mean in this context?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/meike-stoverock-sexual-selection-future-men\/#Does_Meike_Stoverocks_view_predict_an_inevitable_future\" >Does Meike Stoverock\u2019s view predict an inevitable future?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CSexual_conflict%E2%80%9D_at_the_heart_of_the_argument\"><\/span>\u201cSexual conflict\u201d at the heart of the argument<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The thesis begins with three biological elements. First, sperm cells are abundant while eggs are scarce. Second, a man can theoretically impregnate several women, whereas pregnancy occupies a woman for nine months. Finally, pregnancy involves physical constraints and risks that a man does not directly bear.<\/p>\n<p>From this, Meike Stoverock contrasts two reproductive strategies. Under this interpretation, women would have an interest in prioritising partner quality, while men would be more oriented towards the quantity of reproductive opportunities. Women select; men seek to be selected. This opposition is what she calls a \u201csexual conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Within this framework, female selection would tend to concentrate interest on a minority of men regarded as the most desirable. The source refers to a 20\/80-type distribution: a male minority would receive most of the attention, while a majority would be excluded. This is an interpretive framework put forward by the author, rather than an established social law in the material under consideration.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_agriculture_to_monogamy_a_reinterpretation_of_history\"><\/span>From agriculture to monogamy: a reinterpretation of history<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Meike Stoverock links this dynamic to an interpretation of human history. Before agriculture, female preference would have played a greater role in reproductive relationships. The emergence of settled societies would then have intensified tensions: some men, deprived of access to women and offspring, would have represented a risk of violence and social disorder.<\/p>\n<p>In this account, three institutions would have helped limit that conflict: private property, marriage, and money. Property would have made it possible to concentrate resources in the hands of those able to defend them; marriage would have reduced women\u2019s freedom of choice in order to distribute access to women more broadly; and women\u2019s exclusion from property ownership and financial accumulation would have limited their material independence.<\/p>\n<p>This interpretation therefore presents monogamy not as a spontaneous romantic ideal, but as a social construction intended to pacify competition among men. It assigns marriage a collective stabilising function by organising a broader distribution of relationships and reproduction.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contraception_female_autonomy_and_the_return_of_choice\"><\/span>Contraception, female autonomy, and the return of choice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to this thesis, contraception marks a major break. By regaining control over their fertility, women would recover greater freedom in deciding whether to have children, with whom to have them, and what place to give to a career or family life.<\/p>\n<p>The weakening of marriage, divorce, dating apps, and the welfare state are also presented as factors that would profoundly alter the previous balance. The material notably states that women initiate 75% of divorces, alongside their growing presence and achievements in education, universities, and the economic sphere. These elements are used to support the idea of a return to female selection.<\/p>\n<p>Medically assisted reproduction and surrogacy are also cited as developments that could, under this view, further reduce the need for a father in order to have a child. The argument goes so far as to claim that a large proportion of men could become economically and biologically less indispensable in women\u2019s eyes. This is precisely what gives the theory its alarmist character.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_radical_scenario_envisioned_for_excluded_men\"><\/span>The radical scenario envisioned for excluded men<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Meike Stoverock would not stop at observing a concentration of female desire. She would also raise a practical question: how can social peace be maintained if a large share of men remain excluded from relationships, sex, and parenthood?<\/p>\n<p>Her presumed answer first consists of challenging monogamy, described as an institution designed for men\u2019s benefit. The ideal of romantic love, the soulmate, and the lasting relationship would also have to be abandoned because it would foster the belief among unwanted men that they are entitled to a partner.<\/p>\n<p>From this perspective, relationships should exist only when there is a strong and explicit signal from a woman. Involuntary singleness should be less stigmatised so that the men concerned are more able to accept it. Yet this arrangement would not be enough to address the sexual desire of those who remained excluded.<\/p>\n<p>The solutions mentioned are technological and commercial: sex robots, widespread pornography consumption, virtual worlds, and, in some cases, prostitution made accessible through health-insurance reimbursement. Men not selected in romantic competition would thus continue to perform difficult jobs or work necessary to collective functioning, while finding sexual compensation separate from women.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_this_view_provoke_so_much_rejection\"><\/span>Why does this view provoke so much rejection?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This theory is shocking first because it appears to reduce human relationships to reproductive interests and competition between groups. It assigns women a uniform logic of selection and portrays male frustration as something that may become a political problem. Such generalisation leaves little room for the diversity of individuals, relationships, and life choices.<\/p>\n<p>It is also controversial because it explicitly envisions a hierarchy between desirable and undesirable men. Using such a distinction can reinforce the feeling of exclusion among people already facing loneliness or singleness. The material also uses the term \u201cincel\u201d to refer to involuntary singles within this analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the proposed responses\u2014normalised pornography, sex robots, and publicly funded prostitution\u2014raise major ethical, social, and political questions. They are not a necessary consequence of contemporary transformations in romantic relationships; they correspond to a specific scenario attributed to Meike Stoverock, which remains open to challenge and is not inevitable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_hypothesis_about_the_future_not_a_fate\"><\/span>A hypothesis about the future, not a fate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The polemical force of this reflection lies in its ambition: it connects sexuality, history, institutions, technology, and social organisation. But it also rests on a series of debatable interpretations, from the biological explanation of preferences to the idea that monogamy is merely an instrument of social control.<\/p>\n<p>The data cited in this reasoning\u2014on singleness, pornography use, online dating, or the absence of a partner among young adults\u2014are presented as signs of a trend. However, they are not enough on their own to demonstrate that a society organised around the exclusion of most men is emerging.<\/p>\n<p>The main value of this thesis is therefore that it highlights genuine concerns about loneliness, the role of couples, digital sexuality, and perceived inequalities in the dating market. It does not, however, justify concluding that the future of men has already been written.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_Meike_Stoverock\"><\/span>Who is Meike Stoverock?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Meike Stoverock is presented as a German author who published a book in 2021 on female choice and male civilisation.
