Dr. Sulikowski's studies consistently find that women systematically give more reproductively inhibiting advice to hypothetical female friends than they say they would follow themselves—they tell other women to delay children, prioritize career, leave relationships, and 'dump him' more than they'd choose for their own lives. The Vogue 'is having a boyfriend cringe now' article, Target's 'dump him' Valentine's jumper, and viral 'I had an affair and saved my marriage' pieces are mass-media versions of the same dynamic measured in the lab.
