@blueplanetslittlehelper, I’d refrain from the left/right concepts since they seem to have constantly change in the last decade and it’s a western culture war thing I’ve no part in. However, note that not every man could “rightfully” marry someone (properties, as you said, don’t randomly get transferred from one to another, they were sold and bought). Where I’m from, traditionally marriages are arranged by the parents of both sides.
Now, speaking of power and control, they don’t come out of nowhere. For the upper class the men had the upper hand because only them can get involve in politics or own large business. Farmers, however, divide works suitably between all family members (oh, and children hardly got any education back then) who all work for the land lords. After all it boils down to the ability to provide for the family. And anyone I tell you that people used to die really young back then and the one who lived would take charge of the family?
As part of my general education I studied early modern literature and even the pre-communism works highlighted pretty clearly the class conflict and how both men and women had to overwork to feed their family. The only difference was that women didn’t exists in the eye of the law in the way that they didn’t get taxed, but in reality the tax was shared within the household. It’d be misogynistic to dismiss their ability and contribution just because some piece of paper said so, don’t you think?
I’d say for a long time incels were hardly an issue because most men knew they never got to choose their life partner, and some never got a chance to reproduce at all. That’s the place where I agree with @thor, it’d be irresponsible to tell young men that they can be with their ideal women as long as they are nice and loving. The same for young women, we’ve set the expectations too high for the new generation, together with the digital isolation, people become more entitled and less compassionate to help each other to survive. The class conflict is still there, we just get distracted by gender and racial issues.
@bonifartius ??? You counter your own arguments, use your own quotes in an entirely different context and use your bigger letter limit to write me into the ground?
I'm done here, you win. Take a cookie 🍪
Today marks the 1000th day #Assange is detained at Belmarsh. 1000 days in maximum security prison, 1000 days without a conviction, 1000 days in a callous disregard for his most basic rights, 1000 days just to please US thirst for revenge. Enough!

don't only rely on my words, read what happy customers wrote about me: "10/10 would buy again", "top seller, great value", "wildly incorrect", "teil des problems", "without imagination", "Repeated provocation using copy/paste.", "if you take a dump in my mentions, I just might notice the smell", "log out and never login again", "Du redest wirr.", "My brother in Christ, this is such a ridiculously dumb statement that I will no longer entertain this silly conversation.", "Auf Derailing-Diskussionen habe ich keine Lust. Finger über dem Blocken-Knopf.", "Wie gesagt, du kannst der Diskussion inhaltlich nicht folgen."
