I think there is a biological imperative for monogamy amongst all humans. Women will assume men pair bond the same way they do, and they would be right.

The push towards forcing women being monogamous is much stronger. Both have cost of STDs and splitting up resources to care about children is inefficient but if a woman gets SECRETLY pregnant with a different man than her husband her husband wastes ton of resources. It's also an advantage for the other man to achieve it.

This is consistent with what we observe.
