I'll get to history last and take on the Science first. I am specifically referring to the observation that in virtually all higher lifeforms that evolved sexual reproduction, the egg-bearing female is most often the one who chooses the successful mate.

There is a revolutionary bombshell in Darwin's "Origin of Species" and especially in It's not long and worth the read.

404 Error
Would a woman programmer say something as useless and meaningless as "404 Error"

Greek, Spartan, and Roman women of higher classes had a considerable degree of autonomy as well as freedom of sexual proclivity.

Most upper-classes did. The middle classes and Protestantism changed that.

only have orgasms with men they like a lot

ONLY? Then i should sell my shares in the Vibrator/Sex-toys Company!?

Some studies have shown that women are more likely to choose nurturing men during the "ordinary" parts of the menstrual cycle but are more disposed to physically and socially powerful men during ovulation.

Men also find women more attractive when they are ovulating.

So if there was ever a time for the male side of the gene pool to be diverse, I think it is from now on.

How can women trust this promise?

As for history, have you gents ever read about such figures as Catherine the Great or Boudica?

Some modern history:-
The World’s 10 Worst Dictators

what females match that?
or this:-

Kim Jong Il (North Korea):
$700,000 per year on cognac; 7,000 Mercedes Benz; 20,000 movies... while his country is starving

women are most certainly capable of extreme violence and it seems apparent that it is women's proclivities for men of violence that has at the very least added to the continuation of "the breed".

In the past, perhaps, before the male "use by" date occurred about 1914-1918.

Is this why the Chinese kill female babies and we have an overpopulation (eventually, unsustainable) of males?

Don't mess too much with Nature, guys. It's doing pretty OK on it's own, now that Geek is Good.

You think so? the Chinese are messing, IVF is messing, GM is messing, "New" (non-star-born) chemicals (POPs) are messing, medicine & drugs are messing, world poverty is messing, war is messing. In fact we can't help ourselves "messing"
The planet is stuffed, the economy is stuffed, we still kill, sell anything for money, go to war, drive too fast, beat women, kill women, repress women (EG Many Islamic countries and other fundamentalists). interpret "holy" texts in sexist ways, pay women less, our priests are sexist paedophiles, the Pope on a world campaign of genocide, etc
