the questions that follow are why do they want to control women? and how much control do they want over women?

How much control? All of it. Thats how control works.

Some people are wired wrong and just absolute sociopaths.

Some people are convinced that others are inferior and would benefit from being controlled by their superiors.

Some people are filled with fear, and think control will assuage this fear.

How can a man feel like a king without total control of his domain?

Why do billionaires exist? Because it's never enough for many. You would think a sane person who gets to 100 million dollars would get bored and do something other than hoard money, but it's never enough.

Same with control. Some aren't happy with anything in their life being beyond their control, including the people in their lives.

They were abused as children, and they see abuse as normal and right.

That’s how it worked in The Good Old Days, and everything was fine! (For men, but with money, but also white, and definitely Christian)
