I’m just strongly of the belief that culture molds itself around the mode of production,

But it’s a cycle, not an arrow. The modes of production are build by the culture which is influenced by the mop and around it goes. Those with some of the most ambition to affect this cycle tend to be the misogynist type and so culture tends toward misogynist.

Part of why is probably because women tended to get stuck caring for young ones (whether they wanted to or not) while men went out and changed culture and built the mop.
