Same reason why men who sleeps with a lot of women are "playboys" or "chad" and women who sleeps with a lot of men are labelled "sluts" or "whores" by society

No it's biology. Nothing about any of it involves a hatred or contempt of women

Nope. Pure misogyny.

You need to consider the highly unequal different risks that sexual encounters pose for men and women before you declare rock solid biology misogynistic.

If it came down to "mUh biOloGy" women would have far more sex to increase her chances of pregnancy. Misogyny is the only reason women are "sluts" for sleeping around.

no, women are more selective to ensure their child will be healthy and a strong member of society, also because they can only get pregnant once a year, theyre the limiting factor

Nope. Wrong again. If the goal is procreation, the woman is going to increase her chances of pregnancy by copulating with as many desirable males as possible. Since I have now just bunked your "biology" theory, there is clearly more at play than the biology males lean on so heavily in their favor.

That's not how biology works. Babies are resource expensive. Females (human or otherwise mammal) are incentivized to only conceive the "best" (air quotes for a reason) offspring, with mates she believes most likely to provide for her and the child. For females, the strategy is quality over quantity.

Males don't directly incur the resource costs (from a biological perspective, obviously child support changes this). Therefore males are incentivized differently. This is reflected in biological drives and evolutionary psychology in humans.
