Money provides access to power and autonomy in our society. If you don't have any money then you are cut off from both.
Also, the contributions of women to society is not valued. The unpaid work that women provide in our homes and to our families is estimated to be worth billions of dollars if it was paid for. Because that work isn't valued/paid for, women are far more likely to fall into poverty after a divorce, especially if they have children. Hiring lawyers to win alimony and child support costs a lot of money, and many women never receive the payments, especially if the man moves out of state or works a job where his pay cannot be garnished.
Basically, the oligarchs want to turn all women and anyone who isn't white, male, and wealthy into slaves.
Too many people seem to have forgotten that we had a war in 1865 to end slavery and they are also under the delusion that slavery can't make a comeback.
May patriarchy fall. Vote Blue!!!
