These things simply don't compare.
Any such attempt smells like trolling to me.
System that are shitty by accident, do not compare to intentional evil.

and during all this banking in the US suffers from all the usual problems, it's 50+ regulatory regimes all in one, banking systems are laughably ambivalent old and legacy plus too new and full of bugs, and so on.
it's not surprising that things are not ideal. there's no need for some extreme conspiracy. big banks are user-hostile. just as the police, as healthcare, and so on.
It appears to me like a sophisticated and coordinated operation, not the accidental result of bureaucracy.

Nothing crazy about that. It's very harmful to women, and doesn't do the consumers of it much good either.
this has the same energy as "video games are making us killers", "tabletop RPGs directly lead to Satan (no chance of ever getting back)", "reefer madness, not even once", and so on.
are there negative consequences with regards to women? sure, as with many things.
is it "harmful to women"? oh, yes, maybe we need to put blinders on women and assign a guardian to them to help them avoid this harm!
US banks aren't shitty by accident - how could anyone say such a thing. They deleted millions of mandatory records. They manipulate markets. They fund illegal wars, and people like Epstein. They support dictators and tax dodgers. And that's all just JPM! Look at what GMS have done; look at the Panama papers, look at the 08 bailouts.
Giving banks the benefit of the doubt requires extraordinary, profound naivety.
