Oh the explanation is just that it’s a form of “benevolent” sexism that has its roots in one of the deeper layers of old-school misogyny. It basically goes like this: “women are smarter and trickier than men and use all that intelligence to lie and seduce men.” In that school of thought it’s how Eve brought down Adam and Delilah brought down Samson. It also provides a convenient excuse to publicly execute that weird old woman on the edge of town (who coincidentally inherited a bunch of land from her dead husband). Clearly she got all that land from her conniving woman tricks and is now keeping it from honest God-fearing men.
