Did I accidentally crack the code?

In their natural environment, women are in competition with each other over attracting the best man. But feminism gets them to compete with men instead. This tricks the more beautiful and capable women into wasting their energy somewhere else, potentially eliminating them from the dating market, while the more ugly, feminist types are left with less competition. Thus giving them an advantage in the mating game they wouldn't have had before.

This was a first thought as I woke up in the morning, so I'm sure there's holes and flaws in the reasoning. But it might be worth keeping in mind.
