are men more successful than women because they have to, in order to impress women?

Another fallacy on which modern feminism is based is that men have more power than women. Among mammals, the female always has more power than the male, and humans are no exception. It is true that, in all human societies, men largely control all the money, politics, and prestige. They do, because they have to, in order to impress women. Women don’t control these resources, because they don’t have to. What do women control? Men. As I mention in an earlier post, any reasonably attractive young woman exercises as much power over men as the male ruler of the world does over women. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-scientific-fundamentalist/200908/why-modern-feminism-is-illogical-unnecessary-and-evil

to me it's a point so obvious that it doesn't need to be discussed. but the funny thing is that the feminist paradigma "women have less power therefore they are oppressed" is pushed by those very same men in power who are trying to enact a social engineering experiment to see what level of productivity women can reach. it's the wet dream of every politician and industrialist to have a nation in which both men and women work full time and are equally productive. but it's not gonna happen because women won't ever achieve the same level of men in that regard for the simple reason that they don't have to, their mating value is not as affected by being professionally successful as it is for men and that explains the equality paradox of scandinavian countries: many women would rather be housewives and mothers than stuck in a boring career.
