This has been the case since the beginning of time.

Society in general admits that women want money unless the guy is very handsome. Any person who listens to women knows this is true.

However, this cannot be changed or even addresses without fundamentally dismantling everything humans have built. Women need to manipulate men in order to survive. Even if everything was perfectly equal and everyone had the same amount of money, you'd still have women eventually needing to use men for the money. 90% of men cannot get laid without money. You simply cannot undo this, it's basically a violation of nature.

So like most things, human beings submit to reality and just go with it. Human beings walk a thin rope between animalism and sentience. We are mostly too proud to admit our animalism, but we have to go with it because there really is no other option.
