Eh, I'd like to see sources for a lot of what he's saying. There's some debate over whether prehistoric humans were monogamous or not.

I'd argue that while some women might benefit from idealized polygyny, (by sharing a wealthy man) in reality it's not the same.

For the things like having a son (because he's worth more) means the marriage stays together. Where is that exactly? The US? Worldwide? India? Same with the beautiful people having a daughter, I was only skimming at this point, but there's no way for a woman's beauty to affect the sex of a baby, only men affect the sex of the baby.

And finally, DUH physical attractiveness=reproductive success. That's why we find them attractive. That's why fatter people were attractive when fat=wealthy or fat=good childbearing. The most attractive are assumed to be the most healthy who will pass the best genes on to your children.

There are some truths in there, but I think that mostly it's just someone who wants to say nonPC things for the sake of it.
