Quotes to ponder:

"Men find 20-year-old women most attractive. Women think 80% of men are unattractive."

"The Gini coefficient is a number between zero and one that represents the degree of income inequality in any given nation or group."

"There are no villains in this story. Nobody can or should be blamed for his or her honest preferences, and if women collectively believe that most men are unattractive, what grounds does anyone, male or female, have to argue with them?"
