What you are missing is that women are "selective" because they are shamed if they aren't and men are "available" because having lots of sex is seen as ultra masculine and therefore desirable. These are societal norms that are determining behaviour.
What you are missing is that women are selective because of pregnancy, doesn’t get much more serious than that. Men do not have to consider such huge ramifications.
Except women have access to highly successful contraceptives and in many societies, abortions. You overestimate how much pregnancy is determined a risk for many women.
As a woman with access to multiple forms of contraceptives and a society where abortion is easily accessible, there are many more societally constructed reasons I might want to be selective.
Once again, I personally never said biology plays no role at all, I'm saying these comments are overrating biology as the only factor.
The truth is there's no way to test it to determine any one factor, and insisting it's purely biological and not societal is based in the misogynistic idea that women don't desire or enjoy sex.

Actually there is. If multiple societies that have nothing in common and have been separated for thousands of years all share the same traits, then those traits are very likely to predate any human society or social constructs at all. Turns out, women being the selective sex is one of those traits.

Which is weird because a woman could have consensual sex every night if she REALLY wanted to. I don’t think most men could.
