Interesting take. However, those best able to protect the ability of a group to survive and reproduce have traditionally been rewarded by access to reproduction. Women are evolved to desire these traits, because they allow kin selection to function without succumbing to the issues you describe. I would even say that ensuring men are selected for on this basis is a large part of what constitutes "culture". I do see merit in your dualistic take and I agree that there is room for competition within a group as long as it does not jeopardize the unity of a group.
