Sometimes I think that the Western establishment hasn’t learned from the horrors of the 20th century (eugenics, Marxism, the Holocaust, and so forth).

Or maybe they just don’t care, as long as they maintain their grips on power.

The traditional standard was that a few women would end up owned by even fewer wealthy and powerful men. They would serve in harems.

The other women who were lucky enough to avoid being forced into prostitution (to service the broad masses of men) usually lived on farms in rural isolation and did a lot of manual labor.

This was a consequence of a male/female ratio imbalance caused by a high maternal death rate. It was common back in the good old days for women to die earlier than men ~ in greater numbers simply from the consequences of childbirth.

Having an adult man/woman ratio of 1/1 is a modern novelty that's had a run of just over a century, and only in the modern industrialized nations.

It's totally abnormal.
