Returning to the OP [sorry for hijacking the thread I do that]:
Open gold-digging exposes the existing system of "women must
seek stability because they can't do it on their own".
Dowries... arranged marriages... girls teaching other girls
tricks on "how to get a man"... these are all part of the same
structure which seems to occur no matter what political system
or laws are in place. There's ANOTHER ontology you have to map
that disregards the political structure, disregards capitalism,
disregards communism, socialism, disregards laws...
...that's where you will find the source of the happenings in
the link.
