Yeah, people born wealthy are raised with higher expectations of accomplishments. It's all about who you consider your peers. That's who people size themselves up to in order to gauge how well they're doing. You don't get to just go all Billy Madison and expect not to be mostly cut off and regarded as the black sheep of the family. Also, families that are that wealthy tend to be large families, not single-child households with no siblings, cousins and other relatives in the picture, as was depicted in that movie.

I was only saying chastity being effeminate doesn't account for men that have a lot of resources, who have displayed enough competence to be trusted with the community's resources. These men don't care at all about a woman's commitment because they have no shortage of options, which is due to their value.

Oops this should say promiscuity, not chastity, in the first line.
