Have you read anything, anyone has posted since you started off on this misogynistic tangent of yours?
The best guess is, men put themselves in power a few thousand years ago, back when sheer muscle was enough to put/keep yourself in power. They also instituted religious dogma that justified their positions of power by saying it was gods will. Those traditions were carried on, from one generation to the next, never really being questioned. Now that people are questioning them, we're finding that they aren't really important anymore.
