Why women demand monogamy

From an evolutionary biology perspective, men demand monogamy because they need to be sure that their mate's children are actually their own. But, why do women also demand monogamy? Women want a full time protector. A man will naturally act as protector to his biological offspring and their caretaker. The woman wants a man who will pay attention to her and her children more than anyone else. If she can ensure that she is the only one baring young to the man, she will get most of the attention. So, she doesn't want him impregnating others.
