>People as a whole have about double as many female ancestors as they do male ancestors. I'll take your word for it, but I don't think that means "women bear multiple children with a small pool of highly desirable men..." or something.

For example, women with multiple partners could have access to more resources by proxy of those relationships, which in a patriarchal society would be greater than the resources a man with multiple partners could access.
