Two types of hypergamy and sons
Hypergamy is often misunderstood because it is based on a common but yet somewhat acceptable conception: that women aim for men out of their league for their own satisfaction.
Actually whether women intentionally aim for it or not, the main genetic purpose of women is to have descendants and in particular more descendants than other women, because otherwise in purely genetic terms they disappear from history and their inheritable traits would also disappear. But the propensity to hypergamy has not disappeared.
So the hypergamy instinct which is so strong in women must be at least not-conflicting with that aim, but also must support it and indeed it does, in both types of hypergamy:
Economic hypergamy, choosing the most economically successful males, helps having many sons by providing more funding to bear and raise them.
Sexual hypergamy, choosing the most attractive and sexually active male help having sons that are also attractive and sexually active, and thus spread the genes of their their mother faster and wider than the sons of other women.
Of the two sexual hypergamy is clearly the most important instinct, as women get particularly turned on by sexy pump-and-dump players. It is reasonable that it is pointless as to outcome other women as to descendants to have a man able to provide for raising many children if the sons are not attractive or do not have a pump-and-dump player attitude to sex.
There is one case where women practice hypergamy for their personal advantage: when they want to maximize the chances of having a comfortable old age. In that case they will practice economic hypergamy, not only so that the man they choose will provide them with a better lifestyle, but also in the hope that his sons will also be like their father economically successful and thus continue to provide their mother with a better lifestyle when her husband dies.
But given how strong is the instinct to sexual hypergamy before menopause, my guess is that economic hypergamy is rarely chosen by young women, unless it is imposed on them by older women, who are near or past menopause, or anyhow do not care about whether the economically successful men are attractive because they are for their daughters.
Feminism and Feminism 2.0 "the sexual liberation" is not a rebellion of women against the patriarchy, but a rebellion of young women against the rule of older women, the matronarchy, to be free to pursue as many hot pump-and-dump players they can fuck, instead of being pushed into economic hypergamy with unattractive but successful "sugar daddies".
