She didn't say that. You're projecting and conflating.

She said this one particular guy was an oaf.

"ALL women have" is an allusion to the fact that if you're forced to marry then the vast majority of the forced parties are going to be settling. They're picking out of convenience and necessity, not out of sheer desire.

The context of that statement is tied to the theme of the whole article.

There's a lot of truth to it, but it's not entirely accurate either, historically speaking.

Thar said, in the discourse today, men are telling women they need to settle or else they'll end up crazy cat ladies and women are saying cats are preferable to the gaping maw of despair that tends to accompany tying oneself to so many men. At least cats love you back and will show some affection now and again. Lots of times they're even demonstrably happy to see you.
