The Emancipation of Women
The emancipation of women can be traced back to the creation of the welfare system and the commercialization of "safe and effective" birth control methods. Ultimately, the feminist movement accomplished nothing. The only reason why women were allowed to have “equal rights” is because of the establishment of the welfare system and the creation of safe methods of fertility control. After the commercialization of low-risk birth control methods, women achieved a new “power” that was never known to them in previous eras of history: A power to exercise her innate promiscuous nature without being constrained by the natural order of things. By having access to a safe and reliable method of contraception, the average woman was made able to sleep around like a whore with no strings attached, and the natural consequences of sex was nullified by means of using contraceptive pills or abortion clinics if the woman were to conceive after sex
The woman never fought her way to independence and increased “rights”. It was men in power who showed mercy and allowed women to have societal privileges, which happened after the introduction of effective, low-risk contraception & the welfare system (in 1940s or 1950s). Allowing women to have more “social rights” only became practical due to commercialization of safe contraceptive treatments & the creation of social welfare programs. If not for the creation of safe birth control methods & state-subsidized welfare, men would have never allowed women to have more “rights” than they did over 100 years ago. Historically women have never been equal to men - At least not in athletic performance, physical abilities and innovation. Since the pre-Neolithic ages, women have had to rely on men as their mates and protectors, and they still do today - Except now it’s all collectivized through social welfare programs implemented by the state, which men (and women) in employment are obligated to commit
Women are Underrepresented in Higher Education STEM (for unclear reasons)
The vast majority of major discoveries and innovations in science, maths and engineering were done by men. The current infrastructure of the modern world was designed and built by mostly men. Most of the academic contributions to STEM can be credited to the works of men from previous eras. In the modern world, the statistics for female STEM majors vs. male STEM majors show that women are still a minority in higher education STEM. But why is this still the case, since women are now more liberated than they have ever been in the history of civilization?
There are some claims that women were previously unable to express their full capabilities in higher education STEM due to sex-based discrimination against women in previous eras, which discouraged or prevented women from pursuit of higher education in STEM. As of yet, these claims are only theories. Unless non-biased studies on men vs. women in STEM are published, we cannot be sure how much more or less capable women are than men in STEM. Plus there are various factors to look at, such as rote learning ability, critical thinking ability, socio-economic status etc.
Perhaps it’s a case where women are talented rote learners but not so talented in abstract thinking. A person who’s talented at rote learning doesn’t have to be an advanced critical thinker; a rote learner can also major in a STEM university degree. But innovation comes from abstract thinking, and STEM academia is widely based on ideas that were proposed by rote learners who were also talented thinkers in terms of creativity and abstraction. A rote learner who’s not talented in abstract or creative thought can only apply what they learn in practice without contributing anything new to the field of study - Basically they’ll be a biological robot under supervised training or supervised working. Anyone can come up with their own excuses as to why women are underrepresented in higher education for STEM subjects. But if you look at the hard facts, more men than women have made major discoveries and significant contributions to the academia of science, tech, mathematics and engineering
A neoliberal might say "Women are underrepresented cause they’re less motivated to pursue a career in STEM due to sex-based discrimination in the world of STEM, which is reflected by unequal salaries across sexes and a male-favoring culture in STEM workplaces". But I could counter-argue and say “The individual’s salary in STEM is reflective of the individual’s level of performance in the field, and it could be that women who work in STEM are paid less than men who work in STEM for the simple reason that men largely perform better than women in STEM jobs even when they’re placed in the same work conditions”. At the end of the day, one can only speculate why women today are still underrepresented in STEM
Women are Naturally Inferior to Men in Athletics, Combat and Other Activities that Require Physical Effort & Skill
In physical activities that require effort, stamina and skill, like track and field athletics, ball games (football, basketball, baseball, hockey), motorsports racing, rowing, swimming, skiing; hand-to-hand combat, obstacle courses, archery and other shooting sports – Women are overall inferior to men in these activities, and have been inferior to men in these activities since the oldest known records of these activities. The average male professional in each of these sports, performs better than the average female professional in the same sports. The world records set by men in all of these activities exceed the records set by women in the same activities. Although there are some women in sports who are exceptional performers in their sport (e.g., Ronda Rousey can beat up other men in a fight, Shacarri Richardson can run 100m faster than other adult men). But this usually happens when the woman is an exceptional performer in the sport, whereas not all men in the world are exceptional performers in the same sport. The only sports or physical activities where women in general are superior or equal to men, is gymnastics and horseriding. All else in the world of physical activity is basically male-dominated, and it’s not cause of “social constructs” or “biased frat cultures” in the world of sport that favors men over women

What have Women Overall Done Better than Men in Society?
The only thing women overall have done better than men in the development and maintenance of society, is take care of children and maintain the household when the breadwinner was not present. Besides sexual reproduction, housewifery, nursing and babysitting, women as a collective have not done much for the human world. I’m not undermining the significance of parenting and ensuring the house is maintained with clean facilities and clean food. And it’s only fair to admit there are some women who have been credited for their own contributions to STEM like Ada Lovelace, Marie Curie and Florence Nightingale. But if you look at the history of discovery and academic contribution to sciences, engineering and mathematics, nearly all of it, like +95% of it, is attributed to the works of men
Then again, a neoliberal may argue that women were previously unable to express their full capabilities in other things outside of the house due to sex-based discrimination in older times, which restricted the average woman's education & career opportunities. But we could also theorize that if women were the ones who led society in all fields of activity outside of the household (e.g., scientific investigation, military service, infrastructure building, activities that require physical effort) and men stayed at home or nursing, the current infrastructure of human society would be regressed by at least a thousand years. Although we cannot prove this theory, there are various sources that can be used as a basis to support this theory (like the articles and research studies that I cited in the spoilers above)
Why Women are now able to Live like Hedonistic Bachelors?
The only reasons why modern women are able to live like bachelors are two things: 1) the commercial availability of low-risk, highly-effective birth control methods, and 2) the social welfare system
Low-risk, high-effective methods of contraception enables women to be wastefully promiscuous with no material consequences to their actions. Unwanted pregnancy? No problem, just take the contraceptive pills . Forgot to take the pills? No worries, just go to the abortion clinic . Problem solved. Now I can happily return to my casual sex life with no strings attached . If the world did not have any safe methods of birth control, most women would be unable to resort to a lifestyle of prolific hedonism and infidelity. The risk of pregnancy would be too much, and the potential consequence of attempted abortion by unsafe methods would be even worse - A pregnancy would hinder their opportunities to pursue other careers or recreational activities, and most of them would inevitably be confined to traditional roles where the risk of unplanned pregnancy is low
The social welfare system economically enables women to fulfil maternal roles as a single mother. If not for the welfare system, a woman would need another channel of support, like a male partner or grand-parent (of their child), in order to fulfil her maternal duties, or else the mother or her child will be screwed. The welfare system subsidizes women who are mothers to underage children, and enables her and her child to survive without the support of a male cohort, which essentially defeats the purpose of the nuclear family. The welfare system neutralizes the woman’s need to fulfil her maternal role under the constraint of a nuclear family, as it basically enables women to reproduce with multiple men without needing to commit to a monogamous LTR with any individual man
If the social welfare system was abolished, or safe birth control methods became obsolete - You can be certain that modern women would not be able to continue as they are right now. They would have to transition towards tradwifery or sexual modesty. The reality is that women who are alive today are lucky to be alive in this particular era where there are low-risk contraceptive treatments and social welfare programs. If they were born in a time when low-risk contraception & social welfare wasn't available, most of them would be confined to traditional roles like housewifery, nursing & handmaidens
TLDR. The woman never had power in deciding the rules of society. She only had a tactic of persuasion, which she used to persuade other men in power to permit her with the privilege to live like a bachelor. Generally speaking, men are by far superior to women in activities that require physical effort and skill, and the infrastructure of modern society is mostly designed, built and maintained by men. The only reason why women were ultimately allowed able to live like bachelors, is cause of commercially available low-risk, highly-effective birth control methods and the state-enforced welfare system. Low-risk birth control methods are distributed by state-funded institutions. Single motherhood is largely subsidized by the state as part of social welfare programs. If not for these reasons, the lives of most women would still be confined to nuclear families or traditional roles like housewives, nurses or handmaidens
