Here, the material basis of the conflict is "Can you own people? Overtly, formally, with the full blessing of the law?"
The most essential step to owning women is stripping citizenship. Need to take away the vote to do that, and it's pretty obvious that women's votes are especially problematic for the dominionist goals.
(Note that the "of course you own your women" position has widespread support.)
