Talk:Sexual economics

Limitations and criticism
It would be useful to add a section that discusses the limitations of sexual economics theory and includes some of the criticism against it. Alan Islas (talk) 06:16, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

This article is low quality, and makes many vague, unsubstantiated, ideological claims Andyforbes123 (talk) 13:13, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Page move to 'Sexual economics theory' proposal
This page, after the first sentence, is known in reliable sources as 'Sexual economics theory', not sexual economics in general. A specific Baumeister theory, not a general concept. That's what the lede citation is. The lede citation was the first study in this field, but because it was titled sexual economics doesn't mean that's what reliable sources refer to it as. The first sentence is disconnected from the rest of the page and uncited, as the main citation in the lede is about a specific theory ("SET"), not all sexual economics. There's dozens of sources on the theory at this point, just listing a few. The academic ones point to the original Baumeister article usually. 2600:8806:0:C2:9528:DD17:734A:B889 (talk) 11:39, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
