I'm assuming the implied-to-be-already-known background here is something along the lines of "women find low-status men repulsive even in relatively non-sexual/non-romantic/etc. contexts", which is both true and probably a special case of "people find low status repulsive".

But it's definitely not known, at least not to me, that "people find low status repulsive." At the very least, I'd appreciate some evidence backing this up.
