In the decades 20-40 YFP, the birthrate descent caused by the increasing
importance of women's professional career caused a demographic crisis in
the developed countries. This led to a resurgence of sexism and public
acceptance of the patriarchal culture from the past, and labor conditions
of women toughened in order to favor a return to the household, including
having children. Parallelly, other social changes took place, as the
steady decline of women in positions of responsibility, and the reduction
of the value of the female vote to a quarter, in order to limit their
influence in politics. However, the drop in female labor supply had
negative consequences for the economy during the 50 YFP decade, specially
in some sectors that relied heavily on female labor. During the decade of
60 YFP, considering the existing labor conditions of women, with very low
salaries and and reduced labor rights, and the male sexist culture which by
then was seen as something normal, most governments devised as a solution
to increase female birthrate so that in two decades there would be a lot of
cheap labor. This was achieved by making single women to have only
daughters, using artificially fertilized female gametes, and also using
fiscal measures to encourage them into having at least two daughters. By
80 YFP, the new generation of females were beginning to be able to work.
Soon the ratio between women and men became 2:1, with around half of the
women married and the other half employed with an average salary one third
of a man, and reduced voting rights. Soon, labor rights began to be
curtailed too.
At the beginning of 90 YFP, most men did not even remember the time of
political correctness before the first reforms, and saw the male sexist
culture of the moment as natural and legitimate. The women had been
removed from all major political parties, as well as management positions.
Most women were born too after the first reforms, and although they had
heard and read about the days of gender equality, they had been raised in a
male sexist culture that had taught them to be relatively resigned with
their situation if they didn't want problems, and to choose between
searching a husband and obeying him, or looking for work and obeying their
boss. Some nonconformist women, most of them educated as such by their
mothers or grandmothers, who had lived the times of gender equality, led to
a movement which advocated for a gradual return of political, fiscal and
labor rights for women, to ultimately restore equality, and in most
countries a "Equality Party" was formed with the same goal. Despite the
numerical advantage, which in 90 YFP reached 4 women per man on average,
the lower weight of the female vote (one quarter of men) and the
aforementioned conformity of many women, the movement did not receive
sufficient support in all countries . In some, fear also played a role: in
the elections during the decade of 90 YFP, there were often threats from
extreme masculinist groups to all women who went to vote. These threats
were fulfilled with numerous attacks, some fatal, to women who had been
seen exercising their right. Most of these incidents were not
investigated.
