I think you are simplifying it too much. Men also want money, women (some women anyway) also want sex. It's a bit too easy to just say that if men always pay for sex, then everyone is happy!
The first thing I thought of was:
Paul Peterson -- She Can't Find Her Keys, made it to number 19 on the charts in 1962
Shelly Fabares -- Johnny Angel, was a number one song the same year
Both were teenagers on the Donna Reed Show at the time.
