If I hated humanity here is what I’d do: 1) make married men less trustworthy. Make it easier to cheat, and easier to divorce, remove the stigma and make it not uncommon. Make divorce cause women to be penniless. (Temporary step, eventually I’d shift things so that divorce is advantageous to the woman)

  1. next, I’d play on women’s fears of divorce and poverty leading them to want to work a 60 hour workweek like a man. I’d encourage them to think that they do not truly need a man, single parenthood is fine!

  2. i’d encourage women to invest heavily in their educations, in terms of effort, time, and money. This way, if they do happen to luck into a marriage with a loyal, hardworking, great provider and father, they’ll still keep their career as a high priority regardless of whether they trust him.

  3. the coup d’etat— i’d create the idea of a conspiracy among men to avoid housework, rather than it simply being “something in their nature”, which could be related to thousands of years of surviving filthy battlefield conditions.

Thus disrupting otherwise happy marriages, and making single young women extremely reluctant to marry due to the very justified fear of the “double shift” or career loss. Thus reducing female availability and increasing loneliness/reducing family life.

Eventually, I’d blame religion for the entire mess.
