My Thoughts:

The thought that when one is dependent on someone that one then is enslaved to that person isn't only restricted to women. Regardless of whom you are dependent of that dependency will probably have some sort of influence on you. It may be your employer, your customer or your parents. Depending on whom you are dependent of that will probably make you behave in different ways: going home earlier thn you want, spending time at work or trying to please someone. It is not a long stretch to think that dependency can be like slavery if it inluences your behavior enough or in a specific restricting way. But when does dependency turn into enslavement? Or does even a little dependency automatically mean subjugation? Not in my opinion, but what do I know...
