In all species in which the female makes greater parental investment into the offspring than the male does (including humans and all mammals), mating is a female choice; it happens when the female wants it to happen and with whom she wants it to happen, not when the male wants it to happen or with whom he wants it to happen.

Doesn't really justify such a strong statement. Especially if you consider culture & the fact that we are a loosely monogamistic social species with complex social & mating habits. But I think the author was magnifying a realistic point. The relative abundance of non-picky men is a more accurate, but less funny. Similar social effects.
