Is Anything More Controversial than Telling Women to Be Better?

If there is one thing academia, philosophy and science are known for, it is dissensus. Especially within the social sciences, official sources have accommodated ideas ranging from the moral permissibility of bestiality, to pro-mortalism and voluntary human extinction. Yet, recent societal development has resulted in an onslaught of academic reports telling men to self-improve and seek psychotherapy for the sake of mate acquisition, which inspired the following research question: Is there a single instance of an official report recommending women to improve themselves in order to obtain a romantic relationship, that is not gender-neutral? Several papers were initially identified, however, the fact that they were all from around 1985 prompted a post-1990 restriction. With that limitation, a single paper has been identified in 2010, which further limited the question to after 2010. Since then, not a single paper recommending women to be better for mate acquisition seems to have been published, indicating an unprecedented bias in academic literature.
