Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Inheritance is the original cause of misogyny. Engels wrote a book about this. The short story is that patriarchy arose out of a "need" to know who was the "legitimate" heir who could inherit property (since the mother of the child was always known but the father was more ambigous in matriarchal societies and polygamous societies). This is a bit more obvious if you are from a country where traditional marriage norms have a much stronger hold on society (aka India).
Inheritance also plays the role in developed capitalist economies in terms of creating misogyny, but since the west's traditional marriage norms were destroyed much earlier, it can be harder to see.
Actually, I'm not sure I understand misogyny in the western context that well. It can be kind of hard (and depressing) to keep up with the red-pill crap, although from what little I have been forced to endure of Andrew tate due to my dastardly cousin, he seems to be largely playing on young men's economic anxieties about owning status symbols (amongst which women get included because they can produce "heirs").
Making everyone cool about nudity sounds nice. But this kind of presupposes a non-patriarchal society.
ah yeah, attack the root.
