It sounds like a persistent theme through history is that a very few people at the top had a Lot of power, and most men and all women were oppressed. Feminists, take note: men are not privileged. Just those who were privileged were men. The fight must be against the few at the top.

Yea, I'm beginning to think the only real privilege is being born to a powerful and wealthy family.

If wealth keeps getting concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, coupled with the sexual liberation of women, perhaps we'll see something like this again. 1% of the men enjoying 99% of procreation.

Doubtful. Child support means that if wealth is used for procreation, it will diffuse.

Child support is a very small part of a rich man's wealth. It will not diffuse in any noticeable way.

Yes, you're right; I should have included alimony.
