 The problem we have today is people have been fed a narrative through leftist dominated schooling that the last century of Progressivism has been entirely positive so the starting point makes it difficult.

To pick it apart you have to go back to giving women the vote and understand how niche that was back then. Then see what they did with those rights (ie Prohibition in the US).

Then you’ve gotta understand the welfare state and how that came about. Then the sexual revolution and “reproductive rights”. Then womens involvement in Civil Rights and thereafter Gay Rights and thereafter Climate Cultism and on and on.

Then there’s a whole thread of having two people earning a taxable income and outsourcing child-rearing to the State.

It takes a long time to get through all of these points to understand where we came from to get where we are. It’s not the kind of thing you can explain in a post or even over a beer.

But it will happen with time simply because of how utterly ruinous women are when given equal power over society. Men will see women voting to send them into meatgrinders and tax all their wealth and decide to change domestically rather than go along with their globalist statist program forever. 
 Hey, I think you could explain it over a beer 🍺 
 I have tried, but normies don’t have any of this background so they look at me like this https://i.nostr.build/POVVW.jpg
