For clarification, allow me to provide a brief science lesson. Ovulating means that a woman is physically able to have a baby. Her body produces an egg once every month and the egg is made in the part of her reproductive system called the ovary. The eggs produced here are released into what's called fallopian tubes. If she has sex, then the man's sperm might meet up with the egg. If the egg cannot be fertilized with sperm, then the egg will continue traveling down the fallopian tube into the woman’s uterus. If the egg continues to go unfertilized, her body flushes it out during menstruation. This process happens once a month.

It is thought by some that Nature’s way produces a more intense desire within women to have sex when she is ovulating. That may or may not be true but regardless, it is doubtful that she exclusively desires a macho male during this time of the month. The study you refer to assumes that a woman wants to be “fucked” when she is ovulating and a patriarchy society equates a woman’s desire to be fucked with a desire to be dominated, i.e. the macho male. I do not agree with this notion.
