neoLiberal ideology is how rich and powerful men can prey on women, then make them think it was their own "progressive" choice. Make them sell to the rich guys then turn around to blame their problems on the poor guys.
When you cannot have real scientific, technological and social development progress, you fill people's minds up with "progressive ideology" bullcrap.
Ultimately they still have a zero-sum mentality.
They tested the waters with the Crazy horse incident involving Lisa and Angela baby not long ago. They've always wanted to try open up the virgin markets in China regarding gambling, prostitution and drugs. Once you do that mafia and human trafficking business, government bribing/involvement is next.
There was a book Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism by anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee that shows how much better relationships are under socialist conditions. She compared the sexual satisfaction of women in West and East Germany, and found that women in East Germany had better sex.
I think liberal feminism sold women and men short, and did a lot of damage without delivering the goods. And by goods I mean: free childcare, maternity leave, and democratized access to things like music and art classes and sports.
In a lot of ways, liberal feminism feels like a psyop meant to give just enough freedom to women to make both women and men miserable. Yes, the sexual “revolution” liberated women to have as much sex as they want before marriage or even instead of it. But everything that has to do with childrearing and maternity has remained private and unchanged, while the only thing that has progressed is the ability for women to get jobs and climb the corporate ladder like a man.
Rachel Cusk had the same realization after living a big chunk of her life according to libfem values: “What I lived as feminism were in fact the male values my parents, among others, well-meaningly bequeathed me—the cross-dressing values of my father, and the anti-feminine values of my mother. So I am not a feminist. I am a self-hating transvestite.”
WWII was the only time the universal childcare existed in America and even now it seems radical. What do women get instead? The most elite professional women working for Apple, Facebook, Google, Uber, Spotify, and many other top corps get tens of thousands of dollars so they can freeze their eggs. But they don’t get childcare.
