Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.

It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

To paraphrase Orwell. The problem is that people aren’t sheep. His example was Britain after WWI, but it applied to Germany, France, Australia, Canada and Italy as well (Russia had a very destructive Civil War, and the US casualties were lower in proportion to the population so it didn’t have the same impact there). In WWI, it was overwhelmingly men who were killed, as there were far fewer civilian casualties in comparison to WWII. And this heavily concentrated in the younger adult group (in France, half the men aged 20 to 35 in 1914 were dead or wounded by the end of the war). And what happened to the women? Well with very few exceptions, they did not take up living in a ménage a trois, or bigamy. They remained single, and didn’t have children.

One reason is that it is difficult to raise children alone. And this has not changed. Support for single parents from the State still effectively takes resources from men to support women with young children; it just that the government and welfare agencies act as the intermediaries so it isn’t so obvious.

I’m afraid the claim have is a purely theoretical one that doesn’t actually operate that way. It didn’t even operate that way in the Post War USSR with a huge gender imbalance, and with the state officially rejecting the Christian/bourgeois morality.
