People are conflating personal choice with social need. Just because we need men in society and in the world does not mean an individual woman needs an individual man to date. No woman needs to date or mate. No person needs to date or mate. If women CHOOSE to date heterosexually, that is a choice; it's not something we NEED to do anymore. This should be seen as a good thing! We can date men if we WANT to now, not because we HAVE to in order to survive financially. Do men really still want economic hostages as mates?
