Do you think that people only have sex because they might have an orgasm? Really?
Modern humans have sex for a variety of reasons, yes. Regardless, individuals who do not enjoy sex are less likely to reproduce than individuals who do. I don't believe this is a controversial idea.
The point is that women generally enjoy sex even without orgasm.
Sure. But those pathways aren't unrelated, and orgasms do contribute to enjoyment. To rephrase the grandparent, individuals who enjoy sex more are more likely to reproduce, all else being equal.
You should read the interview that was linked to; they talked about this very thing. And the guest cited evidence that she claimed supported her, which you should be aware of before arguing against her claim.
