Fortunately, I'm Not Looking For A Good Man

Surely psychologists will respond to this outrageous power grab by the mathematicians with a study proving that women who prolong much past the second date are uncomfortable in their bodies and risk lonely, bitter lives?

No, no, they'll just point out that "good" mean "oppressively patriarchal".

Then they would demonstrate that the best strategy for one woman is to provide sex outside marriage, while her sisteren keep a lid on it.
