Canadian Nazism is a polite ideology, ok?"Into the boxcar now... there you go. Oh, watch your head. Here, let me help you... Yep, showers are right through there. No problem at all."

I think most people understand that women did, for a long time, live by ("enable") the gender roles of their time. However, as men have traditionally held power over women, I think it's absurd to propose that women are largely responsible for those roles or their continuation. Until relatively recently, breaking gender roles was not only socially unacceptable, but also lead to ostracization.I'm not saying women brought it on themselves by any means. However, I don't think a society would develop in such a way that 50% of the population thought was entirely negative for them. To put it another way, I think that women, in the times when patriarchies were forming, preferred patriarchy to the alternative.
I also think that s*xual selection in humans encourages societies where political control is concentrated in the male population. Social status plays a uniquely important role in whether or not a woman is attracted to a man, in ways that are not reflected in male attraction to women.
Explain.The modern firearm really made the need for a male protector irrelevant.
Great industrialization and commercialism in general had this affect too. Essentially, machines eased much of the burden of being a homemaker, giving women more free time and making the prospect of gender equality, as we understand it in modern times, viable for the first time in human history.
