That was the myth back when. In fact, some pretty awesome women like a guy who is smart, fit and capable but also submissive. I'm sure that's always been the case, but people just never talked about it. As to the reproductive part - it just stands to reason. I am definitely a worker bee happy to service the queen bee. If that results in a great bunch of kids, that's great. In the insect world, I would go off to die. As a human, luckily, I have other options as to what to do with my time after fertilizing the queen bee. But our yin/yang provided a good environment for the three kids to grow up in.
Long way of saying, without being an expert of any kind, I think the thesis of the study makes some sense to me personally.
