I always thought it based in Christianity.

“For it was eve that ate the apple an now women must be subservient to men” least that’s how I hear it. I heard from a female american colleague that she struggled with male trash telling her to get in kitchen and out of office back in 90s but better in recent years. I heard one older (60s) male coworker write a formal written complaint on that specific woman. Like wtf? That bloke never had time for emails but will complain about the new woman in the office? Now it seems right wing brain rot is making things complicated. I worry for future women.

We have Christians and mysogynist idiots in Europe as well, so I doubt that explains the difference

I dk murica has mega churches and the like. Its like their whole thing.
