—“Women invented rent seeking. It’s their reproductive strategy – to force their costs and the costs of their offspring on the tribe. Working to control some of her income. Hiring other women to raise her children. Marrying the state to bypass the cost of maintenance of a male. Extracting rents from a baby-daddy without the costs of attention, affection, sex, and caretaking, is not only in their interest, it’s the optimum strategy for maximizing rent in pursuit of consumption. It’s entirely rational. We have produced all the incentives necessary for her to maximize rents.”—
