Governments began as a way of funneling money into just a few hands

You can think about warrior kings and princes as sort of like businessmen or mafias today. They wanted a bigger piece of the pie so they and their families would never starve to death. They wanted their children to eat good and therefore have a brain and body when they grew up (if they grew up) and so this is how governments actually began in a hit or miss kind of way through expanding families.

Religions in their development followed the propaganda of Warlords as they evolved into King and Queens over larger areas of the landscape. So, religions became objects of propaganda which usually meant things like "This King or Queen is a God or at the very least an instrument of God and so what they say goes "Like a god".

So, now you see Trump thinking he is a king or a god and can fuck any woman he wants or grab her gentalia and thinks his boys can do the same. So, in this sense both Trump and Putin are throwbacks to another century or era than now, much more victorian and misogynistic where women have no rights at all.

Both Trump and Putin believe women don't have any rights at all except to be a vehicle for whatever the man wants. Very Victorian in thought.

Why were women often hysterical during the Victorian Era?

Because they were being raped regularly by men that they didn't want to be with. This was the reality of the times.
