For nearly all of human history, the way to survival and prospering, for a woman, was to be paired to a competent man, or, at least to a man with a competent extended family. Everything else was secondary.

It has only been in the last 60 years where such has changed. It has been a technological change, based on birth control and a technological society. It does not appear to me that women who do not bond to a competent man, are better off.
