We are living in the plantation. Where men's toil is being spent on female vanity. One gender is being ignored to upholster another. The problem we are experiencing now is not entirely new. Throughout history we know of many civilizations where women truly were treated like slaves, objects (Unlike the Islamic society- where women are afforded plenty of rights but are kept in check). Nothing rescued them from their respective sufferings. Their sufferings went on for eons.

A hedonistic society could not care less that some are oppressed and some are not. Everybody will run after the 10/10, rich, chad/slut stereotype but will never get there - and in the process will run over anyone in their path. From an absolutely materialistic perspective - you would not be wrong to pursue this stereotype.

Having compassion for the other would be the antidote to the problem. A compassion that cannot be justified from materialistic perspective. It's always the fundamental shift of society from hedonism to spiritualism that tends to balance out the society. It's entirely possible for civilization to totally fall and female subjugation to be the norm again. But that is not balanced. And it will just be another phase of the cycle of civilization from poverty to affluence, from Androcentric to Gynocentric. Which is going to be reset anyway in the future - by the current pandemic or the next nuclear winter. But true and lasting change can only come from a spiritual solution.
