Hogwash. With the caste system that excluded women from the franchise, the entire system was male-dominated. Women had "a place" in society and they could not step beyond it. With suffrage, they not only claimed the vote, they also knew that they could break the unseen chains that bound them in social isolation. When they effectively replaced men in factories during the Second World War, there was no turning back. They demanded -- and were given -- the rights to act as depraved and indulgent as men had for centuries.
No such "liberation" has come mens' way. Ever. No, ma'am. If men have changed at all, it is because women have.
