Perhaps this holds true in "modern sophisticated society." However, such society is only a flash in the pan compared to the evolution of the human race. Men are and were the physcally stronger sex, therefore they simply dominated the females whenever they felt the urge for sexual intercourse. Look to the animal kingdom, monogomy is extremely rare. (yes there are a few species, thats why I'm saying its rare, not unheard of) Whenever males are the dominant sex, they fight it out amongst themselves, and to the victor goes the harem. Females are relagated to the birthing and rearing of the young because they cannot physcally stand up to the males and change it. Males held the power.

Well first off look at birds, the males show themselves off and the female picks.
Second, every one of those animal societies are devoid of communication. THE most powerful aspect in ANY human-to-human relationship is communication.
Think about it, a silverback gorilla can individually dominate their whole pack. The gorillas do not have a very complicated communication system, however. We as a society can make alliances in which we can take down the alpha male (watch survivor, you'll see). The physical dominance does not rule a relationship in which the woman seeks help from other humans. Would you turn down a plea for help from a female who was utterly physically controlled by a strong man?
We are not a wolven society. ONLY the Alpha male and female (two out of a dozen) are allowed to reproduce. If we were told who can and who can not reproduce in our society it'd hold much more weight, but we dont.
