A graph of the introduction of Technologies into the household -- I thought it would be interesting how this relates with women's rights movement in regards to Gender Roles vs. the misguided belief in Patriarchy

Because technology adoption has increased over the years, you are saying this perpetuates gender stereotypes? What?

Hey all,

I would love any resources or information where we could plot the women's rights movement along this graph.

My basic premise is women's rights movement is about change in Gender Roles as technology entered the household it "Freed" women to focus on roles outside of the household. Not saying they didn't have any discrimination or hurdles to overcome, just that it was a natural process given the idustrial revolution and how much the need for labor to maintain the home significantly decreased.

Any thoughts or opinions? Anyone care to photoshop this graph with points of interest for the femininst movement (e.g., percentage of labor market? Right to vote? I dunno).

Also I recognize this isn't exactly Mens Rights material, but does place a context for the history regarding many issues men have faced. As men have to adapt to the changes in our society.

Cheers

Advancement of society causes a surplus of survival resources. Women of wealthy husband are the first to have "little to do" and as that starts to hit middle-class wives it starts to become the social problem known as feminism.

The men, who's stupid subset has not been removed from the earth (again, the surplus of survival resources) then strive for something known as "equality" when ends up ensuring the doom of the society, because it allows women more direct input to society. Women then take over the concerns of society and then the self-destructive spiral begins.

How do I know all this? Because this is not the first time feminism has existed. Read a book called "Sex and Culture" by J. D. Unwin and you can read about what is rarely talked about: some of the historical cases of Feminism.
