What it really is about is men's oppression of women and girls. Men do not want to give up their dominance/conquering of women or girls. They do not want to look like sissies - hence their refusal of giving females the benefit of an education - women who would get ahead of men, by any means, cannot be allowed at any cost.
Those who lead by fear, or teach through fear, are the most fearful of all. What they fear most is the loss of control of their world, as they see it. For if they lost control of their world, it would fall apart. And they can't have that.
So, who is the strongest: the men or the women?
