Remove bluepill conditioning - If a man can get away with it, he would kill all other men in the entire world and monopolize all the women.
There's only one thing stopping him - all the other men. This is the ant farm analogy. So, instead of man-on-man combat to the death, there's a hierarchy created of selected breeding males (alphas) and worker ants (betas). Religion is created for Betas so they don't get sexually frustrated and see some nobility in their incel-dom. You can channel their sexual energy into building your kingdom for you.
The top men create this system of the appearance of Feminine primacy because it simultaneously benefits them as the selected breeding males, and shuts out all other men. That's exactly the situation we have forming in human society now. And you'll see it accelerate as AI takes over - you'll be completely prevented from having access to real women. You'll be given an AI girlfriend instead.
Women are valuable because men are all fighting to monopolize them. See women as Gold and Men as Gold Mining prospectors trying to stake their claim.
