Question

Explain why the availability of the contraceptive pill makes female students in university take much better care of their appearance that their male counterparts

Answer 1

Since contraceptive pills are offered in unlimited quantities, this means that each student can take them in unlimited quantities, that is, there is a lot of competition among students in the fight for the desired men. Appearance for women is their competitive advantage, consequently, the better a woman takes care of her appearance, the higher her competitive advantage, and the faster she will achieve the desired result (man).
