I don't see the need for men and women needing to join into the workforce together to survive as part of some sinister master plan. Rather I see a sinister master plan, which involves little more than brute force control of money and political power, as in turn forcing people to behave as they might not otherwise felt the need otherwise.
It is elementary, and a matter of well documented history, that a debauched currency forces everyone into engaging in survival tactics as they are forced to keep pace with an accelerating artificially wealth-siphoning treadmill, and that this will in turn cause a rise in crime, as more and more are forced into poverty.
Is there some master plan to increase crime so that control freaks in government can finally have their much-dreamed of police state. No, I don't buy that, any more than I buy that feminism was deliberately devised by bankers or government as part of any master plan to emasculate the economy or human race.
There are some stark raving, frothing at the mouth lunatic militant feminists...but they are very small in numbers -- like kooks of all stripes. Most people, including most women, really do have their heads screwed on better than that. So if it really is just a question of knocking down a barrier (a REAL one, not just a pretend one, from some loopy equivocation), and if it really is about removing anything protectionist or artificially debilitating, it will be fought for, and I will be in favor of it. However, if it's about "tilting playing fields" and such, or figuring out how office personnel can have their wage prices artificially pegged to truck driver salaries, I'll be more about wanting to face-slap some sense into someone so that they can snap out of it.
I do see an emasculation of all nations, including ours, but to me that has everything to do with what is being heaped on us, both politically and economically, having very little to do with feminism or gender. To me it's just a constant shift of power away from people in general, as MEN AND WOMEN are having their mojo systematically drained from them.
