In the old days they really did have it a lot worse though, which has become enshrined in the mainstream narrative.

Define "worse" and define "old days".

Yeah, that's an important question, because... well, for most of human history, 80-90% of people were farmers. And historians believe there was little to no gender inequality on the farm.

In the 1970's--only 50 years ago--when your mom was born:

Women couldn't---get a credit card, apply for a loan of any kind, get birth control without their husband's permission, couldn't run in the Boston Marathon or participate in some other sports, couldn't get into military schools--or certain colleges, couldn't receive a direct consultation about their mental or physical health (a male family member had to be present b/c women weren't intelligent enough to understand what the dr was saying), couldn't refuse sex from her husband (or file rape charges if they were still married, even if separated and no longer "together" and he attacked her), couldn't be astronauts, be admitted to an Ivy League college (Yale was the 1st, 1969) couldn't be on a jury, couldn't live with someone of the opposite sex, couldn't get a divorce for spousal abuse, participate in the Olympic games, open a bank account (without their father/husband's signature), couldn't adopt a child as a single woman. They could be fired for being pregnant.

And soon due to technological collapse they will have only one rule. Do what your local warlord says while being consumed as comfort or starve. This ain't a bargaining game. They had it better than men could collectively sustain because they asked too much and were resentful in their privileges.

No if it happens it'll be because women stupidly gave up their sacred womanhood....to misogynistic fem trans men who think being a woman is a bimbo stereotype of fake boobs, high heels and make up and allowed those men to take away their safe spaces and rights in the name of communist equity and "compassion" Because, in reality, women were so busy trying to become Like Men they forgot what it really means to Be a Woman

We agree. This all could have been avoided if females decided to be wives and mothers instead of barren whores. I don't see why fem males should be segregated from barren whores. They're the same thing.
