    I personally think it’s more about manufacturing an ‘other’ to blame everything on and unite people in hate.

    There’s little benefit to targeting women for oppression in the modern economy - they’re just more undifferentiated labour to be exploited (though it remains possible to pay them less). I think this was meaningfully different when living off a single income was a realistic proposition.
