Forty thousand generations of sexual selection. Women choose men who are good at something, men who aren't good at anything have their genetic lines extinguished, repeat the cycle enough times and you have men who are hard-wired to try to excel in order to attract a mate.
Meanwhile, women have only been subjected to natural selection. If not sterile, they can reproduce, so women's only selected trait is fertility.
Drawn to its logical conclusion, women are mostly useful to the species as a vessel for a functioning uterus and ovaries, while men have a speciality and can do more useful work.
The best part is that hypergamy accelerates this trend rather than inhibiting it. The more women self-idolize and refuse mates of moderate status, the wider the divide grows.
