The article argues that sexual dimorphism is an extinction risk. I don't buy it: the ostrocod study doesn't generalize, and the rest of the author's links are evolutionary anecdotes.
There are plenty of species in which sexual selection has been highly adaptive, including our own: it's likely that sexual selection is what led to runaway intelligence growth. We've been incredibly successful despite being sexually dimorphic.
In fact, this article makes so little sense that I can't help but wonder whether there's a culture war aspect to it. It's become fashionable to bash masculinity.
