I don't know what it is but authoritarians are really focus on imposing a system on people. Where women are chattel and any exhibition of sexual agency is severely punished. Men can have agency but any deviation from a very limited dominant sexuality is also punished severely. And men are required to jump through a bunch of hopes to prove themselves worthy of sex.

One notes that communists, fascists, religious fundamentalists, and absolute monarchists, are all like that.

So it's political in that regard.
