It sounds to me like the cutthroat system OP describes would cause the rise of the sort of people who would perpetuate systemic misogyny.

If by "the real problem" they meant "the root cause" then their theory does appear to fit the facts. I personally suspect it was "both" rather than "one caused the other" but have insufficient data to go beyond "suspect".
