Social conditioning, aka brainwashing, is the problem Mick. Women in practically all societies are raised to devalue themselves, that their value springs from having a husband and taken his identity.

A good example is the dowery. Even in in America until the 2nd quarter of the 20th Century women were considered the property of men. In colonial America if the husband sold his land, the wife had to sign away her dowers rights.

And it is the mother who raises the daughter to negate her own existence, not the father, tis the mother who carries forward the tradition of identity negation.

Mother, pastor, peers. Up until the mid 19th Century education of a female was considered a waste, the job was to teach her how to be a good wife, cook, seamstress, chop wood, tend the garden, kill the chicken, maybe slaughter the hog.
