What sort of male and female does this changing world select for? In other words, from all of the many lineages of the past which characteristics led to ours succeeding? Is it not a male always on their toes and a female keeping him so? And what type of female constitution is best suited to this role? Is it not one without self-awareness getting in the way of her necessary functioning? As is the case for other aspects of her hypergamous, ovulation-obscuring and mate-suppressing nature, women consistently take one for the team, playing their part in preparing the species for future unknowns, and in the process fulfilling an essential role in turning out the most robust of generations to follow.

Is your answer:

"it's necessary, because of her hypergamous nature?"

Nature has selected for human populations inclusive of females which consistently favour the best seed and resources, thus hypergamous females, yes. Though this is not all. For example, even after mate selection, while in relationship, the female's discontent ensures the males continuing efforts. So you could say selection pressures don't cease at any stage.

Though to apportion blame for this aspect of female nature is to miss the point. In the absence of self-awareness, behaviour remains directed by a set of instinctual drives which have served our survival and thus remain dominant traits.

To become aware of human nature is rather to recognise the inherent challenge for all involved, and thus encourages love and empathy as a foundation of understanding.
