Well, that's one of looking at it. However, I think, we must not discount cultural factors that play a part on how a society deals with it. Some societies arrive at a more pacifist solution such as Polyandry. Societies in the state of Kerala (and other as well) had Polyandry as a social arrangement at some point in history, I believe, partly as a result of skewed sex ratios.

> Societies in the state of Kerala ... This is very very interesting because right now, due to a lot of education and a relatively higher standard of living Kerala can boast of a sex ratio of 1084 females/1000 males the only state in India with more females than males. Also, Kerala is famously a stronghold of a Communist Party (the Communist Party of India (Marxist)).
