[Lizavetta]

It's becoming clear to me that as a society's women become more manly, the more the guys become girly.

Rudyard Kipling's take on it; from his "Gods of the Copybook Headings," published in 1919:

On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbor and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."
