"When one is accustomed to privilege equality feels like oppression"

19. History has a play in the answer to that question

Women were not considered a person, as she was not allowed to vote, own property or in some cases to work. The manufactured nature of "dependency" was established in the early America by those who create the slavery, segregation and such.

If one looks at the Movie the... "The Help" and take not to how the white women looked down at the young white woman who was not married and had got a job at the local paper... as most of the other women "did not work" it was groomed in that their role even after graduating colleges was primarily to find "a man".

This kind of stuff gave men a power based on a created condition, and that condition was imposed upon women, as a measure of whether she was worthy or not worthy.

On the other hand, black women have 'always worked" and worked in conjunction with the man, they were not raised nor was the conditions upon her as if she did not have to work, and she was not placed in a situation where she was measured so much by whether she relied on a man for household maintenance, Yet, the ramification of slavery and the repressions of segregation played a great part in how the conditions of economic shaped much. In some cases, the man had to leave the home, due to not being able to find suitable and equitable work, just so the woman could get assistance, that was a means to avoid his family starving. There are many dynamic's at play within history.
But even in the earliest days of America's history in the advent of slavery, black men and women had a sense of equal input in the household and the struggles to maintain the household.

Black men are far less likely to come home and kill the whole family, because he runs out of money. They did not need everything fancy to feel the need to make their house feel like a home. Nor was the black women put in a position to be like a mantle show piece, she had voice and she embraced her work and duty as mother and wife "and worker" for the family.

IF white women during slavery said anything about the white man out raping the slaves at night, she would risk everything and be cast out, and in a society where she was not allowed to own property, and in many cases not allowed to work, her means were intertwined in maintaining a position in the role as if she was a possession of the white man, and if he discarded her, she was relegated to be even less and still not considered as a person. She still could not vote and had no voice in civic matters or the policy making matters of white men.

History has lots of details which connect to why these men are lusting for a return of the past and caught into a want of fictional madness of a folklore fictional past, where he was master over everything including women.
Right winger still this day, push every way they can to control a woman's own body.

Thee is a clear cut reason why the march continues by women for equality in living, and equal respect as person, including the fight against being seen as a disposable object for pleasure based on her body shape, facial image and age. Women are now telling of the sexual abuses they once were unable to speak about. Women on college campuses are no longer silent about campus rapes and other gender discrimination, and they are not submitting to be dominated by males as if she is to be his possession.
