(41,991 posts)It includes both historical precedent, a study of the classics, the knowledge of the various roles of women throughout history. A history of sexuality of women to the present time. The expectations I'd childbearing. The various rebellions, predating suffrage. The economic dependency of women on men.
Bring on, then, the "sexual revolution" where women didn't gain as much as they thought at the time. Bring the expanding roles of women, the lessening economic dependence (although 2 parent incomes are often what keeps family afloat)
So much change. Women, historically chattel, learned to have a voice. I could give you laws, less than 100 years old, requiring women to have a husband co-sign or approve any financial transaction. Raping ones wife was legal 50 years ago. Less in some states
I can't give a full overview of how historical fact affects emotion. Suffice it to say, women were not considered fully autonomous. The hate comes from a variety of places--expected privilege of sexuality, fear of women's sexuality, resentment of financial independence, the historical value of women being what it was. Toxic masculinity.
Without background, my words will mean nothing.
