Evolutionary pressure.

Society is one abstraction, reproduction is another, and they don’t always mesh nicely.

Maybe the perfect society for reproduction is one of polyamorous warlord harems or something (this is a hypothetical)

Men optimizing for that status quo would be absolutely lethal in our peaceful monogamous society.

That used to be the case, but it's not anymore because our society abstraction is powerful enough to stop it
