I kind of disagree. Women are more ruthless and cunning than a lot of men give them credit for.
Female suffragettes engaged in terrorism to get their message across. Women have cheered on incidents like Lorena Bobbit severing her now ex-husband's penis.
If you see reaction videos of what happens if a man hits a woman, just as many women step in as whiteknights and physically assault the man that hit a woman with ten times as much fervor.
Men putting women back in their place wholesale would mean exiling, imprisoning or executing radical feminists that demonstrate they are determined to hurt low SMV males or have clearly advocated doing so in the past and have not expressed remorse, imprisoning hypocritical "non-feminist" women who protest against the rollback of women's special treatment and the rollback of rights women got at the expense of men, censoring or exiling any people that are sympathetic to feminism, gynocentrism or being a tradcuck and barring all other women from interacting with each other or anyone on social media or the internet, participating in tv media, business and politics.
In short, only a few women would be left in free society if men were to really put women back in their place.
