The theory is that females find it much easier to initiate reproduction (although the process is far more work for them once started).

Also through large parts of human history females were treated as chattel and weren't subjected to the same pressures as males.



Something about how only one in two males reproduce, but on average every human female has offspring?


so this implies that some men reproduce with more women than they "should", thus causing problems?


It refers to the fact that there are men excluded who are left to yearn from the sidelines.


It could also point to the possibility (and in some some cases a confirmed fact) that some men are raising kids that they didn't sire.
