History is clear, for almost the entirety of history, the top males have access to multiple women and the rest don't get the chance to reproduce.
One of the innovations of Christianity and the precursor Judaism was that of enforced monogamy. The top achievers get the top women but the commitment is for life. No takebacks. The rest of men get a chance at reproduction if they participate in society and follow the rules.
This was a fantastic benefit for everyone in far reaching and complex ways.
For contrast look at the middle east where multiple wives are permitted, or the fatherlessness of some sections of the USA.
Women have always hated having to be faithful. They have been working together to tear down marriage and monogamy for more than a hundred years, only to find out that the alternative is worse.

To be fair, they literally had to punish cheating women by bludgeoning them to death with rocks in order to enforce monogamy.
