Abstract
⺠We survey 47 sexual cannibalism papers and note words describing males and females. ⺠Active words are more likely to be used to describe females than males. ⺠This contrasts with the findings of a previous study on sexual conflict literature. ⺠Females were often associated with negative stereotypes. ⺠Researchers are influenced by their study systems, not just cultural stereotypes.
