He has the effect right. It perfectly explains the girl boss meme that women have actually tried to become. As a woman increases her status, she finds herself standing among a smaller and smaller pool of men she will find acceptable. So the writer is not wrong in that. The question is, how does one control that from a societal level, that underlying need for social standing and provision, that will make a woman feel that having offspring with a man is in her best interest?
Feminism unintentionally does this. Feminists like to say feminism is like giving a woman a box to stand on to be economically equal to men. But in reality its digging a ditch from which men MUST stand. That makes the men standing in those ditches much less economically attractive to women. And you can see this because in EVERY culture that women are empowered in, you have crashing birthrates, harsher marital laws to force men into compliance, and eventually the quitting of marriage by men and, in many nations, an epidemic of single motherhood.
I fully expect the return of bachelor taxes again to address the fertility issues, as if the issue is men. The modern woman has essentially defeated the male sex drive.
