No doubt referenced by Monty Python in the Stoning Scene, here is Aristophanes eerily channeling modern reality in his ~400BC Play, Ecclesiazusae: "The Assemblywomen".
One of the first laws the women (originally disguised as men to infiltrate the initial vote) pass is - Men must screw an ugly woman for every pretty one. Some of the ugly men go along with women in the subsequent votes on the grounds that "It's never been tried, so it can't be too bad."
“It is decreed that the ugly and the wretched Get to fuck first. Take your pleasure on the porch in the meantime Handling your fig-leaves in the courtyard”
Other reforms the women pass: * Free communal food * Free communal housing * Slaves do all the work * Female Slaves cannot sleep with Male Citizens and Prostitution Banned. * Children don't know their father; no inheritance
In other words, perfect hypergamy: Women don't need men for anything except sex; have perfect security; free men cannot get sex anywhere except from free women, ugly women are guaranteed sex with hot men (but not vice-versa).
