Going to have to get a man's approval to spend anything.
Banks get to use that money while you wait for a guy to get tp your request.
Possibly, I just don't see the financial incentive to restricting women financially. Because how can they increase their debt impulsively if they have to ask permission?
I understand why the powers that be want to restrict reproductive rights, it bolsters the future workforce, but preventing any the working class from spending money wouldn't make any sense.
Like, yeah, a lot of these people do hate women, but they're primarily motivated by pursuit of profit.
It would be about control. Like slavery. The women would work and nominally be paid for their effort, but deemed too foolish to spend or invest it properly, so a man in the heirarchy would be put in control of capital. The capitalists are enamored with systemuc low risk profits, because social progress has destabalized their soft power base.
Slavery is where this moralism is headed. Because labor is such an annoying cost, why not minimize it.
Fair enough, slavery is awfully attractive to them
