Sorry, that should have read:

But now that men have so civilized the world, women are less dependent upon individual men and correspondingly less motivated [...]

Individual men have lost their "bargaining chips," because men now collectively provide the resources and services upon which women so desperately depend. Accordingly, husbands have been replaced with police, firemen, soldiers, sanitation workers, welfare / food stamps, etc. Men have been supplanted by the State.

Men have thus made the mistake of making themselves redundant by "civilizing" the world.

Sorry, that should have read:

Individual men have lost their "bargaining chips," because men now have been press-ganged (through increasingly onerous taxation) to collectively provide the resources and services upon which women so desperately depend.
