I see merit in that perspective. Extreme self-centrism as a means to survive especially when honest work just might seem too hard.
However, one thing I've observed is the existence of individual men who use women (wife, typically daughters, etc.) to ensnare men even if it means involving the state--who basically raise their daughters to be pretty 'raptors' and profit from it. Such man that have it planned down to contingencies. That is, sometimes there is a man (literally hiding) behind the curtain and it might be more of the case than otherwise. Maybe that is properly called a coven?
Wasn't it Hitler that said "A girl of eighteen to twenty is as malleable as wax." How much moreso for younger children who are programmed by their moms or dads.
