Civilization is made to begin because of women's power to be selective, to say no. Women's power to be selective arises because they have limited slots to bear children. A man has no such limit fundamentally, one man could father all the children...Wahah!...but then so could any other man. So that deprives men individually of the most powerful negotiating position, the power to say no. Also driven by the male role, men don't want to say no. See Pinker's classic How the Mind Works.
A female dominated society, then, drives to near total sexual abstinence, as No becomes all. One of my friends claims (and he knows a lot about these sorts of things) that there were no pre-modern amazon civilizations, with female warriors and so on. Amazon organizations have only been tribal, and female warriors have only dominated when the men had died off.
Now the pre-civilized era may well of
Civilization arises to seek the Yes. Civlization, HIStory, is all about the ways Yes is catalyzed, through dogma, ritual, dependence, and so on. Some of these ways not so pretty.
Older civlizations were quite explicit about their providing power (though not labeled compensatory) to men over women.
In modern society, we seek equal rights for all (which I would not waver from). Unfortunately, that brings us back to No.
But then traditionalists, male pigs, bring back the old religion (or worse, actually). So, as it works for them, that brings them peculiarly the forced Yes, leading to greater birthing of traditionalists, and so on, back to hell.
We on the civil liberties side need to compete--but our way. We have to have our own ways of seeking Yes.
One thing, we need to go all the way with liberalization, and legalize (and regulate) prostitution.
Prostitution, or any form of companionship for hire, should be available ubiquitously. And it will be mostly men paying.
The best sexual role model for the post boom human is the bonobo--they have sex constantly. That's how we most satisfyingly and least materially occupy our leisure time.
And we need to drop the bad argument that wage slavery is necessarily superior to marital feudalism.
Marital feudalism is the arrangement under which liberal society arose, and it remained dominant since the 1960's. Not coincidentally, just as marital feudalism became replaced by mutual wage slavery, traditional extremism arose and became the dominant force in US society, at least.
