well for one referring to women as the weaker sex that are driven by biological needs is quite the sexist remark.Then point out what is sexist and not backed by science and social studies in that original quote you responded to.
historically- women could not vote, hold certain jobs ( usually skilled), could not use birth control, use pain relief while in labour, could not say no to sex (marital r*pe) once married, own their own money, property and get a loan.
If women were banned from owning anything, or buying or renting houses, then yes they would marry the best they could it was the only option they had and before that they would have their husbands chosen for them for financial gain or social gains for the father and her family, seriously look up any royal in any nation and you have your proof their, even up to the 1980s when Diana married Charles that was an arranged marriage, for Charles he had the virgin for breeding and for Diana's family money and status.
but the biggest clue would be the surname, which if you haven't noticed when women marry they change their name from their fatehrs to their husbands, this is a remnant of the old days when women were seen as property and they went from one owner ( the father) to her new owner (husband). thats a pretty good example and evidence there.
