View submission: capitalism's demolition will not dismantle misogyny.
CAPITALISM specifically is not the root of misogyny, but in my eyes, misogyny is still the direct result of "financial issues" or maybe "class conflict". idk how to label it but lemme explain.
it's my understanding that men started oppressing women by taking them as property, around the same time PROPERTY at all became a thing. the agricultural revolution hit, owning land and crops became extremely important, and boom. humans now have 2 groups: the haves, and the have nots. those with wealth and those without. but how will I, a post-caveman era wealthy land-owning man maintain this property and keep it within my family? I need to make sure that any women I have sex with, ARE ONLY HAVING SEX WITH ME, and ensure my lineage. women became like slaves, property not unlike cattle. to uphold and justify this cruel system, a lot of cultural baggage has been associated with this relationship. and thus why misogyny prevails fair past the days where women are owned at chattel.
in my eyes, if it's possible that things will change, it'll have to take time. culture takes A LONG TIME to change
There's nothing here!
