It's mostly due to men dying in wars and while hunting and also men hoarding resources which are necessary to provide for offspring. In many cultures they practiced polygamy for that reason or serial monogamy because their women kept dying in childbirth. King moid goes through multiple wives while the peasant moids slave away in poverty barely able to feed themselves.I'm not an anthropologist but I assume that historically, a society with a high reproductive imbalance by gender means that women were probably either in a harem or just raped and told to deal with it. I guess the best case would be like modern-day black ghettos where a bunch of mothers all have the same "baby daddy" who's never around to help out.
I don't think a woman who was raped and abandoned with child had much chance of survival in ancient times.
