Not that long ago women couldn't vote. Not that long before that, women couldn't even own property in many societies. Historically, men have controlled power and wealth.
Women's primary bargaining chip for security/survival has been sex and the promise of heirs that comes from it.

So while your friend may sound a little Neanderthalish, his premise is based on solid foundations.
