@adam-l Tangential, but I was listening to a radio show earlier this afternoon where the topic was relationships and politics. The phone ins and messages were from women who were breaking up with/divorcing their partners and husbands because of their political beliefs. Obviously the host was applauding these women for their bravery.
It really is something to behold when women break their marriages because their husband is going against the grain of the state... which tells me that the state is a greater benefactor of women than a husband could hope to be, and as you say, act as battering ram.
The left won but at what cost to women?
Nah, you got it totally wrong. Capitalists won.
I had seen this move towards "rediscovering traditionalism" a few years back, and warned that TRP should keep the "historical memory" of why traditionalism never did cut it.
It's basically outlined in Esther Vilar's The Manipulated Man. You still got a nagging, rather than a satisfied wife. And then you couldn't even get rid of her.
The Left... They tried to harness and coopt women's natural restlessness and inability to conform to any notion of civilization, in order to supposedly undermine Capitalism. What they ended up with is wiping themselves out, in the chaos and irrationality that women induced in their ranks. (And I'm speaking from experience...)
As it turned out, Capitalism was much more in position to take advantage of the female characteristics, namely excessive consumption and a constant discontent that drove men towards an unattainable ideal of the super provider-Chad (the mythical Alpha provider), essentially towards exhaustion and jadedness.
Not only the working class, but with women as the battering ram, they managed to bring down the middle class as well.

I really don't see it that way.
In fact, the shit show we are seeing in our ... field of specialty in trp, sexual economics, is textbook imperialism.
The elite have expanded inside the ol' families now, usurping control of the women in there away from their own husband. They are now using women's working capacity directly for the elites' interests, instead of through their families.
Isn't that exactly what they have been doing with colonialism and the resources of foreign people?
If you have a "national interests" viewpoint, this isn't visible. But go down just that simple level of resolution, i.e. the elite and the rest (call them what you want), and it's quite obvious.

@Vermillion-Rx not all Iranians are fundamental islamists. In fact, there's hugely more fundamentalism in Israel than any other country.
@Vermillion-Rx taking away say 80 out of the 100 or so neuclear bombs they gave to Israel would be quite an argument for Iran to reach a deal, no?
