Abstract

Benenson et al. provide a compelling case for treating greater investment into self-protection among females as an adaptive strategy. Here, we wish to expand their proposed adaptive explanation by placing it squarely in modern state-based and behavioral life-history theory, drawing on Veit’s pathological complexity framework. This allows us to make sense of alternative ‘lifestyle’ strategies, rather than pathologizing them.
