I guess some women do indeed need to be saved from themselves, and other more enlightened women are just the ones to do it. But then I wonder if those enslaved women are actually aware that they have choices. Do they know they could just uproot and leave their families behind to go start a better life somewhere else? Men do it all the time. Or do some women, I guess we call them trad wives, actually like being mothers and only mothers? Or doing things like their grandmothers did? I know you'd say that their grandmothers were oppressed and didn't like doing things that way in the first place, but could there be a deeper and, dare I say, biological reason why some women seem to tie themselves down to families and not pursue riches and glory for themselves as often as men? We are genetically closest to the chimpanzee, which has a dominant alpha male at the top of the hierarchy. Similarly to humans, they also organize themselves into both small and large social groups, with the most intimacy being found in the smallest groups (no surprise there). Since no conscious patriarchal structure is being assumed here (as it is in human interaction), one could conclude that our society had historically been very much aligned with the rest of the natural world. This is just an observation, not an opinion.
