Why yes - that just might possibly have a little something to do with it. That, & racism do tend to have a bit of a large-ish gap.
You'd think a good stiff does of fairness & equality might go some way to help, with any sort of luck.

But it does make sense & so we'd best not hold our breath...
Incidentally, just finished a book about a pandemic, The end of men, Christine Sweeney-Baird - while its not the best book I've ever read, the ideas in it are really interesting. How slowly the power imbalance changes as more men die & women must take their places.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
