Right. Apparently you need help understanding the history of patriarchy [starting w/its definition] and how women have been turning their physiology inside out to attract and please men goes back several million years.

Patriarchy is older than the written language.

Useful books for understanding how we got here:

The Creation of Patriarchy - Gerda Lerner

http://gerdalerner.com/the-creation-of-patriarchy/…

The Chalice & the Blade - Riane Eisler

https://medium.com/@homecrazzyhome_61325/the-chalice-and-the-blade-d9b26d2cd684… [review]

See also @RianeEisler's Center for Partnership studies

I doubt you'll bother and suspect you'll find some excuse for not caring to find out about something that fundamentally contradicts your world view.

But hey...I gotta give you a chance, ehhh?
