(8,155 posts)It has everything to do with the need to subordinate women.
We could even go further than "power" as the ultimate source of conflict. We could dig into the many reasons why people seek to manipulate the environment and control others. I wrote a lengthy paper on a similar subject this semester. The ultimate source of the issue was pain and suffering which generated fear which then generated a desire to manipulate the environment in such a way to eliminate the pain and suffering.
At almost any cost, human beings need to silence the wringing in their ears. We lash out at others in all sorts of IMMENSELY stupid ways. Over time, these mechanisms snowball into movements and ideologies. One such ideology is woman-hating. How such a thing came to be is as immensely complicated as the mechanisms themselves. And it most certainly cannot be traced back to something as literal as money. To try and make such a connection is a fool's errand.
