It's called classism which is as insidious as racism and sexism.
Of course women with money have class advantage over poor men.
But men of all races make more money than women of all races. Just look at any Census data.

Actually I believe the post had to do with the idea that if you take away all outside variables, i.e. money, etc... a female "5" will still have the ability to attract a male and keep him interested, while a male "5" will have much less romantic and social cache. So the women of bygone eras who suffered under a so-called patriarchy still had it better then the men of today and tomorrow in that they still had their "sexuality", which is a source of power. Their is no male equivalent. so strip both genders of all outside powers and the female has the advantage. Thats what the origional post was referring to.
