This is all just an offshoot of the golden rule. He who owns the gold makes the rules. Also, My house, my rules..

Simply put, man traditionally brought home the bread and built most businesses from the ground up. Giving power to anyone that is not a bird of a feather is typically a mistake. Because their view is different then yours, and they will go in directions other than what you want. So the best way to keep people from taking your power is to keep them down. Pimps up..Hoes down.. Its a simple formula.. What I don't let them take from me, they don't have, and I do. Whether it be money, power, or freedoms.

The people who "win" the game by having the most toys, do it not by being a successful businessman, but by controlling all the rules that allow their business to work.

You want to keep more money and not give it out to women workers..simple enough.. You decide that Women have PMS and sometimes don't work as hard as men so you don't have to pay them as much. Blacks might steal, or might be lazy workers, or just plain don't know any better.. Lets not pay THEM as much. Hmm... Foreigners are hard to understand, which creates some business challenges..Pay them less.

Some people may think I am exaggerating, or saying that companies are underhanded. But what you have to understand is that the guy at the top of any company sees everything in terms of, I made this, its mine, and I have to remain competitive by keeping as much money to myself as possible.

Many companies in the late 90's and early 2000's made more money off of finding ways to save money then they ever could off of actual sales. (decreasing warranties, being less liberal with giving away manuals and accessories, decreasing manufacturing costs, reducing office supply spending, using temps so that they don't have to pay benefits..and lots of other things.)

Keeping these things in mind, its very easy to feel that the best way to hold on to what is your, is to deny everyone else whatever they need to get it themselves or take it from you. The sexism and racism and whateverelsism of it is incidental. The true emotion is a pure unadulterated combination of averice and greed. But the person that is willing to take things to level, often have no problem with playing the race card, the sexist card or whatever to achieve their wants and needs.
