presented as a prize by oligarchs to ignorant, lower income chauvinistic men and perhaps some women to salve their subconscious insecurities while diverting attention away from the suckers pockets being picked, and loss of freedom directly tied to women's loss of freedom.

I don't believe it to be a coincidence that Jim Crow and the Guilded Age were happening at the same time.
